: Re: Resource for rejected novel manuscripts Is there such a thing as an online repository for rejected novel manuscripts? I think it would be a useful and educational resource -- especially to

In addition to the existing excellent answer by Surtsey, I am sure such a resource, if found, will have to be illegal (as the publisher would have leaked material copyrighted by the author). Otherwise the author must either have:

Relinquished first electronic rights.
Submitted to a publisher not bound by Copyright. It appears from the comments such a bewildering institution may exist.

Note:

I don't know much about law, but found out here that in Australia, for instance:

Copyright is not â€˜waivedâ€™ when you publish text or images on the internet. You can decide how you would like people to use your online content. Guidelines for using online text and images usually appear on a websiteâ€™s â€˜terms of useâ€™ page.

So, we have to distinguish between copyright and first electronic rights.
