An aspiring author, David Lassman, tried an experiment sending copies of chapters of Austen's novels with only minor changes (like changing character names) to eighteen publishers. Of the eighteen, seventeen ignored or rejected the submissions. Only one "told him not to mimic ' Pride and Prejudice' so closely". [1]
