Welcome to The Queue blog

If you are a writer with a manuscript that you think is ready to be seen by agents and publishers, but nagging doubts stop you from submitting; if you are a writer with a manuscript that you have submitted to more agents and publishers than you care to enumerate, but are getting nowhere; if you are a writer with a manuscript that never seems to get finished because you know something isn't right, the editors at The Queue want to help you.

Our primary mission at The Queue is to provide writers with in depth, rigorous diagnostic critiques by highly qualified professionals in publishing, academia and specialized fields, in all genres and categories of fiction and nonfiction. The Q-critique is designed to help you get your manuscript agent-ready. This is not an inexpensive service but in the long run investing in a Q-critique will save you money and time.

The Queue also provides a venue for exposing the best of the manuscripts we receive by placing them on the On Queue lineup where they are available for agents and publishers to acquire. All rights remain with the author. When a manuscript reaches the top position on the On Queue lineup and is unacquired, The Queue will contract with you to publish and market your manuscript under The Queue imprint.

In addition to the Q-critique and the On Queue lineup, The Queue also offers a number of Q-tools to help you prepare for publication and your part in marketing your book once it is in print.
