CloverReef Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 So I have a question for those of you with experience with publishers. I submitted to one back in early October. It said to expect a 12-16 week wait, and now it’s been well over 16 weeks, I haven’t got a response, so I’m moving on and looking through other publishers. My issue is that a lot of them don’t allow simultaneous submissions. Some specifically say to “wait for an answer” from previous submissions. Would you submit anyway, or would you try to pester the previous publisher for a definite rejection? Anesor and BronxWench 2 Quote
BronxWench Posted February 18, 2019 Report Posted February 18, 2019 Given that the 12-16 week period fell in the holiday season, I’d give them to the middle of March. At that point, I’d poke them for a decision. CloverReef and Anesor 1 1 Quote

InvidiaRed Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 I’d wait for march. Cause you probably got stuck in the backlog but that doesn’t mean rejection. CloverReef 1 Quote
Tcr Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 Well, like I said on your wall post: They'd be nuts not to take your work. Quote
