With so many topics about Fan Fiction I figured there'd be several people on these boards who'd be interested in the following information...
*****************************************************
Are you a fan of Star Trek? Have you always wanted to write a Star Trek
novel? Simon and Schuster publishes the very successful line of Star Trek
fiction. They're looking for 400-page manuscripts featuring Star Trek characters
from The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space
Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, or Star Trek: Enterprise. Detailed submission
guidelines are available at
(

The guidelines are a bit confusing, in that at one point they state the publisher only
accepts agented submissions, then later go on to give detailed information for
submitting your first three chapters and synopsis. And the FAQ section
specifically says that previously published unagented authors may submit the first
three chapters and synopsis. So if you have a great story, I say submit it
per their guidelines even if you don't have an agent. You won't own copyright
to the work, but my understanding is that these books pay very well and
writing one of them is a good credit on your resume.
