I just happened upon your informative article from 18 June (“Manuscript submission services on the Web”) and wanted to notify you of a submission service not on your list.

I work at Creative Byline, which went live in December 2007. We have as clients St. Martin’s Press and Tor/Forge (both owned by Macmillan), Dutton Children’s Books (part of the Penguin Group), Globe Pequot, and all of the above publishers’ imprints. Creative Byline is the only source from which St. Martin’s will accept unsolicited submissions. We also have signed Y.A. publisher Orange Avenue and its imprint, Zest Books, Starscape, and Wilderness Press out of Berkley, CA. Our website (http://www.creativebyline.com) has a full publisher list along with a rundown of how our service works and fee information. We’re still in beta, so signup is free, but once we move out of our current phase, membership will be approx. $8/month. (This fee will cover not only services offered at present but a writers’ community and other features we’re developing.)

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time.
