DON'T EVEN WARRANT A FUCKING REJECTION

Some ridiculously high amount of manuscripts get rejected. Some don't even get read. Go self-publish.

Most are "read" by interns.
If you want to do it you have to get an agent.
Write short stories and submit them to lit magazines like Glimmer Train, they actually read all the submissions and will pay for your stories if they like them.
