Monsters from the Slush Pile
A documentary is in progress regarding the stupendous influx of unsolicited manuscripts received by literary agents.
If you are a literary agent, have experience with this phenomenon, and would care to be interviewed, please contact Thomas Barnard at:
These are the questions we seek to answer:

If their chances are so poor, why to writers continue to write these things?
Who are your favorite novelists?
Are we in a lull, or is this a great moment for fiction?
