PrepTest 70, Section 3, Question 21
Editor: Most of the books of fiction we have published were submitted by literary agents for writers they represented; the rest were received directly from fiction writers from whom we requested submissions. No nonfiction manuscript has been given serious attention, let alone been published, unless it was from a renowned figure or we had requested the manuscript after careful review of the writer's book proposal.

Most unrequested manuscripts that the publishing house receives are not given serious attention.
Most of the books that the publishing house publishes that are not by renowned authors are books of fiction.
If a manuscript has received careful attention at the publishing house, then it is either a work of fiction or the work of a renowned figure.
