How publishing works in different countries.
I thought this would be interesting to the U.S. writers. This is how easy it is to get your manuscript looked at by the largest and oldest publishing house in Denmark:
http://www.gyldendal.dk/artikler/manusindsendelse
It's in Danish obviously, but the basics are:
1. Send in your manuscript in paper form to the address listed below
2. Please feel free to include some information about yourself and the manuscript*
3. Add your address (obligatory), e-mail and tel. no. (non-obligatory)
4. Once we have received your manuscript you will receive a receipt within a couple of days
5. It will take 5-7 weeks for us to determine whether or not we want to publish your manuscript, after which you will receive a written reply. During this period we would appreciate it if you do not send your manuscript to other publishing houses
...and that's it. Easy peasy.

* A far cry from the query and synopsis angst when sending to U.S. agents and publishers.
