    Now if only they weren’t invite-only.

    *Waves hand*

    Also: me and Scalzi.

    Kaolin Fire: have you considered politely introducing yourself to one of the editors? I think you’ll discover it’s invite-only because they’re not set up to manage a slushpile, and if you’re an SFWA member and/or a Tor author they’ll talk to you.

    And me! Forthcoming anyway.

    Just as a data-point, I queried and submitted to them before selling them a novel.
