I don't think that's very nice or professional. <br /><br />Sometimes while researching I'll see what looks like an updated line stating that a publisher is currently closed. I might bookmark the site and check back. <br /><br />I always figure that publishers want to make it as easy as possible for would-be authors to connect with them since writers are their bread and butter. <br /><br />I know it's got to be frustrating for publishers and agents when they receive so many submissions but it's frustrating for aspiring authors too, especially when they're rejected time and time again.

They had changed their focus and were no longer publishing books like they had published in the past... But didn't mention that in their guidelines.

I read all the way to the end, so maybe this part-timer does qualify as a "serious writer."<br /><br />I like this publisher's definition of a serious writer. Although this market is not a fit for me, I am encouraged by how broad that definition is.
