Thanks for your interest in WEbook and your comment on this datapoint. “Unknown” indeed. With regard to your inquiry about the 15,000:1 figure, the stat came from Anand, Sharat, “Random House,” Harvard Business School Case Study 9-704-438, February 28, 2006, p2. It’s an inexpensive download here: http://www.hbsp.harvard.edu/b02/en/search/searchResults.jhtml;jsessionid=NRWXJ40NTXC00AKRGWDSELQBKE0YIISW?sid=OUWF1KOCIKGMOAKRGWDSELQBKE0YIISW&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchallpartial&userView=CORPORATE&Ntt=random+house&Ntk=main_search&N=0. The exact quote is “The odds of an unsolicited manuscript getting published are roughly 15,000 to 1….” In speaking about this, I will heretofore be more true to the “unsolicited manuscript” vs. “unknown authors.” We’re very enthusiastic about WEbook.com providing a book publishing option for writers who may not be well-connected in the pretty exclusive traditional publishing arena.

Is it a quote from their press release? How did they arrive at it? Is it a ratio of all published authors to all unknown authors? If the authors were unknown, how did they find them to count them?
