that is retarded, why... even though i am shorthanded and heads up expert in NLHE (and have played PLO regularly up to 200/400), and have even already written a book on this exact topic... i was rejected as a prospect for writing this 2+2 book?

Danny,

Nothing says you cannot submit your manuscript to Mason. He may refuse to read it but it can't hurt. The Sit N' Go book by Colin Moshman hit #1 on Amazon's poker list and was a blind submission to 2+2.

Mason, Danny/theBruiser500/fatgirl_lover is a known high-stakes no-limit poster. I have not read his manuscript, but Jay states it's good and he is a known HSNL poster whom I respect.

Matt

Sup Danny!

2+2 is in the position at this stage where Mason has the freedom of requiring manuscripts to be submitted in order to be considered for publication. I think thats a fair trade off considering the royalty that he pays is higher than industry standards; he tends to protect the author financially. Send him your manuscript, you have nothing to loose except a little bit of pride if your manuscript is rejected or a whole lot of pride if its accepted and he requires a rewrite. Good luck mate, it would be bizarrely poetic if Mason accepts your submission.

i sent it to him and he said

Hi Danny:

I'm sorry but we are completely committed for the foreseable future. There is no way we can even look at your book. So I suggest you try another publisher.

Worst wishes,

Mason Malmuth

Yeah, but it seemed like every second thread in here was being hit by his "I'm awesome, wait until my book comes out" posts. BTW, I sure hope the book is written better than his posts.

Dude, there is no shortage of poker book publishers.

It's a well known fact that Cardoza will publish anything.

You should have no problem getting your manuscript published if it's even half as good as you say it is.
