Editor: Most of the books of fiction we have published were submitted by literary agents for writers they represented; the rest were received directly from fiction writers from whom we requested submissions. No nonfiction manuscript has been given serious attention, let alone been published, unless it was from a renowned figure or we had requested the manuscript after careful review of the writer' s book proposal.
Any unrequested manuscripts not submitted by literary agents that the publishing house has published were written by renowned figures can be properly inferred from the editor's statements.
