I am also working on a pattern that I am submitting to Interweave
Knits. They don't require the pattern in the submission packet, a
swatch, sketch, schematic and description are what they need to
consider
it, then you move on with the pattern and knitting. That's not to
say
that I haven't done any of that yet, but you don't need it to be
finished to submit an idea for a pattern. Their deadline for next
winter (or fall, can't remember now) is December 15.

Thank you for THAT info, Ranee! I didn't have a clue as to where to
begin!

If you e-mail any of the publishers, they should send you their
standards, deadlines and themes. At this point, however, you probably
wouldn't get them in time for sending this month, but if you e-mail
me,
I can pass on what information I have.

I will do that, Ranee. It's like getting the standards from a
bookpublisher.... (which I did in the 80's when I wrote a Romance
Novel)
But, I will be writing YOU offlist... it may be a day or two or
three...
things are NUTS around here right now....

But even writing one is a major accomplishment and something to be really
proud of. I think that's awesome!! Besides . . . it just hasn't been
published YET. Did you ever read "Zen & The Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance"? It was turned down by 121 publishers before one said yes --
and now more than 25 years later, it's still being published, and millions
of copies have been sold. You never know.

As soon as we get through the Holidays, I need to finish my Cobweb Shawl,
and I 'hope' to submit the pattern and photos to one or more knitting
magazines.
THEN, I plan on spinning and dying enough fleece so that I can design an
afghan that I want to enter in the DeKalb County Fair in July, 2004.
Good intentions, anyway!!!
Hugs,
Noreen

Well, now, I still have it, perhaps it's time to polish it up and resubmit!
It was in the American Romance line for Harlequin... set in Colorado....

I'm sure I read something similar happened (although not that many
publishers) for The Lord of The Rings.

And "Animal Farm"!!!
