They sound great - I like her energy and enthusiasm. But as they don't accept unsolicited manuscripts I can't approach them. How frustrating!

Of course, it can be worth writing to a publisher who says 'no unsoliciteds' to ask if they would allow you to submit.

I've never had one say yes - but you never know...

Lou - she's not accepting unsolicited at the moment but that may change in the future, so worth keeping an eye on.
