: Re: Meeting with a respected publisher, what questions should I ask? At a writing conference I've managed to snag a 15 minute appointment with a publisher (who published Terry Pratchett, my favourite

15 minutes isn't a lot of time so make it short and sweet. Here's a possible list of questions:

What do you think of my novel proposal?
Are you interested in publishing this novel?
How could I change this work so that you would be interested in publishing this?
Are there other publishing houses who would be interested in publishing this?
Would you be interested in my next novel proposal?

Five questions is about the maximum you can ask in 15 minutes. But reframe the setting as best you can from An Interview With A Publisher to a convivial meeting with a friend or colleague who's interested in your work. We all like to work with people who we like.
