They discard them. If you wish to publish anonymously, you can say so. You can also choose a pen name if you wish, but all contracts and financial arrangements must be made with your legal name and social security number. Bu the way, you should know that most publishers put unsolicited manuscripts into what is called the slush pile for clerical persons to respond with form rejection letters. It is not industry standard to submit an unsolicited manuscript with or without your name. You must follow submission guidelines or be slush piled and rejected. Pax - C

i assume you're speaking a pair of novel length manuscript. It relies upon on the variety. maximum publishers settle for agented works basically. Romance, secret, and technology Fiction can oftentimes be queried direct to 3 publishers without an agent. you are able to examine "Writers marketplace 2007" at your library or community bookstall. which will supply regulations as to what a number of publishers prefer. the two way, you will could desire to write down a appropriate question letter or notion first. by ways, you additionally can question brokers to represent you.

Shred them, I suspect. If you can't identify the author, then the potential hassle of lawsuits over rights / ownership / etc. would make it too much headache. I've never heard of anyone who wrote a book without have dreams of fame, fortune and the heady feeling of popularity. It would never happen intentionally; so if you accidentally submitted without proper identification, you can rest assured that your work will never see the light of day.

They usually toss it and send a rejection slip quicker than the thought passes.
Unless you sent a return envelope; but then it isn't anonymous!

Throw it out, but who would do that when you can just request they use a pen name.
