The Queue
The Queue is a professional service for authors, literary agents and publishers, utilized in the book publishing industry.
Authors without agents or who are not interested in self-publishing send their raw manuscripts to The Queue for a critique and consultation in lieu of soliciting directly to publishers.
Polished manuscripts ready for publication are placed in the "On Queue" section of the Web site's forum and are made available for and marketed to agents and publishers. As manuscripts are published, they are taken off the queue. If a manuscript reaches the top of the queue and has not yet been picked up by any other publishing company, The Queue will publish the manuscript as a separate imprint of parent company, Scarletta Press.
Books published through The Queue:
- Greater Trouble in the Lesser Antilles by Charles Locks (March 2007). Winner of the 2007 Midwest Book Award for Commercial Fiction.
- Willow in a Storm by James Peter Taylor and Kathleen Murphy-Taylor (Fall of 2007). Nominated for the Midwest Book Award for Biography/Memoir.
