Not that I've heard yet.

Sent off my revised manuscript a week ago. Got a response right away from the editor who requested the R&R that she received it and hoped to get to it soon. I'm not sure I've made the romantic elements strong enough (one of her comments from the last draft), but I'm happy to have it off to her.
I asked if they could define meta data as "blurb, tagline and cover art", and they said "sure", and got back to me with the new contract within about five days.
I'll reply to this in PM as I'll only be able to give you my understanding of third hand information.Hi again, I just reviewed the "new" contract, which basically reflects my current one. I'm keeping audio, translation, merchandising, for instance. My editor explained that a blurb written by another author wouldn't qualify as metadata. Are we on the same page?
I guess I'm confused over what a potential pitfall might be. As it is, I'm not asking the metadata sections be altered. Thanks for clearing this up for me -- if you can!
Ugg sorry, KimJo, hope it finds a good home. Glad they aren't doing the rejection by silence thing at least.Submitted a novel October 8.
Received a rejection November 26.
At least I didn't have to wait the entire 12-16 weeks to be told no...
I sent an ms to Samhain last year, to an editor I picked out of the list because she liked my genre. She said she "loved" my voice and was very complimentary.Then she said she was sorry, but she was very picky about kidnap plots. I couldn't help but wonder, had I sent it to general acquisitions, if it would have forwarded it to an editor who might have liked it enough to offer. If I submit to Samhain again I'll send it to general submissions. Just my two pence.
Wow, that's bad luck! I mean, of all the editor quirks to stumble over, that's a strange one.
I subbed directly to the exec editor for the romance lines (having read an interview where she says she does acquisitions among other things). Now I'm wondering if I should have sent it to the main submissions email instead. You're supposed to get an auto-response saying that the email was received, but of course I didn't get that because I sent it to the editor. Argh. I hate to re-send to the main email address, because then they'd have it twice. Should I just wait until I hear back from her, and see if she wants me to use the main addy? Dang. I hate it when I second-guess myself.
