Another round of waiting...

After sending 2 follow up notes weeks apart, I get a small post card from the publisher's letting me know that they have received my manuscript and that instead of it taking 4 - 6 weeks as stated on their own website, it takes 2 - 8 MONTHS for review. I just hope I haven't messed up by sending those previous notes. I guess I will have to wait and unless they reject it right away I'm in for a very LONG wait.

Still no word

Well, as I posted last week, I did NOT hear from the publisher and I did drop them a polite email to follow up on my proposal. Since doing so, I checked out a library book on 'getting published'. The author of that book suggests that a writer follow up 2 weeks after the given waiting period is past to follow up and to do so in the same manner as the manuscript was submitted. I'm thinking that going by this writer's suggestion, I should snail mail a follow up this week, since it is now over 8 weeks since submission, 2 weeks past the waiting period. I guess I will be making a trip to the library :)
