Re: Ask your publishing questions here

Hey John.
I don't mean to pry into any industry secrets here, but how much of getting published and getting an agent is down to "who you know" rather than what you write?
Do authors sometimes sneak in the back door because they're mates with the publishing company CEO, or move in certain literary circles, whereas a total unknown who submitted identical work would have been ignored?
