Hi Chaos,
I'm sorry about your conditions, but, let's face it. Nowadays it's all the superficial stuff, isn't it? Plus, seeing that young readers are the best targets in selling, like, anything! then I wouldn't be selling them a book about phelosophy! (no offense) think about the age group of readers you're aiming at and look for publishers accordingly.
Lots of luck :)

Maybe you should adapt it into some other media. I think people want to probably see (or read) it the publishers just wont give you a chance.
-
Then after summing it up in at most 3-5 sentences max. paragraph. Follow her format. This is basic format that almost all query letters follow. Of course be creative and find out what credentials you have that would make you worthy for being someone they would want to see your manuscript.

chaos...what silvia and drew are getting at is that your excuses are horrible for why you haven't been able to get it published. Excuses excuses, excuses...at the end of the day just got excuses. WHO CARES! Seriously, if you want this published you wont give up. PERIOD! Patience and persistence, and practice at writing a good Query letters is a MUST! Her sample letter is good. SUM UP your book as if your writing the description that is going to be put on back of novel describing the book.

Maybe your book just sucks. Or, maybe you're a quitter and should find something else to do. lol

I write as well, I'm untalented lol but, I think maybe if I was in college I'd have more confidence in my writing, and magic would flow. ; )
But, I also think I might learn so much more from life than college(oh yeah! I'm poor as well). so, really, all I can do is get a job at walmart, travel the world, and hope maybe one day someone will want to read my work. boo hoo fo me...
but now i wanna read your book :D
