Four days later, today, I received an email saying
"Forwarded to Gary Goldstein". You can go here to view the submission:"
Is this what you are all talking about as far as in "In -Progress"? I'm new to Submittable, and not sure what the email update meant. Thanks. And good luck to those of you under consideration.
Hi everyone!
If you submit to Kensington/Lyrical via Submittable, but query a specific editor, the manuscript is archived in Submittable and sent to your targeted editor. They will contact you personally after they have reviewed your work.
Hope that answers your question!
Hello everyone. I'm new to absolute write, so I hope I'm adding this message correctly.
I subbed a novel to Lyrical via submittable on January 29, 2015. On February 19, I was contacted by one of their editors and offered the chance to make some minor changes to my MS and resubmit. I never expected to be contacted so quickly. Other publishers have taken many months to respond. So, kudos to them for such a prompt turn around.
The editor was very helpful. Her suggestions really did make the MS better. I re-subbed on March 15. We'll see...
Is Lyrical the only pub that the MS is subbed to right now?
