Any suggestions on how I can get an editor to look at my manuscript?

I have written a few stories for children and after many years of revising and research, I want to publish. This is a talent and passion I want to share.

I have everything in the professional format it should be in but most publishing companies will not even accept a manuscript package. They determine from a letter or email if they want to read it. I have perfected the letter and story and although I realize everyone feels as if they have the best book, I am almost certain that this would be a loss on their part. of course I do not say this in my query letter but I want to.

I understand that they have so many coming in but why do they not understand how many new amazing books which there seems to be a lack of in rhyming category and money they are potentially missing out on? After all, it does not take very long to read a 24 page children’s book.

As I said before, I have done the proper research and have the opinions from unbiased teachers, parents and especially children in the age group. This particular manuscript was enjoyed time and time again, even without illustration. I just want a chance, which I am certain would prove to be a good situation for all parties involved. An agent is out of the question.

Is there something else I can do to stand out that wouldn’t be considered unprofessional?
