What's the wait time like? K Victoria, have you heard yet?

Do you all get any confirmation that the submission was received? I subbed via their email address.

I subbed to them at the end of June. Then I nudged them after my 8 weeks were up, and they replied that they'd contact me soon...and validated that they received my submission, because I didn't receive an auto reply. I still haven't heard anything, so they must be taking a lot longer than their stated 8 weeks right now. Unless, I'm special. lol

Hi, Chicker. I'm basically in the same boat. Good luck!

Hi Willowwriter,

Nope, I haven't heard a word from them since my nudge 10 weeks ago. It's been over 18 weeks total wait time now, so I guess I'll assume they have no interest in it.

Anyone heard from them? I'm still waiting. Assuming it's a no at this point.

I submitted to them in early November. I queried them 2 weeks before Xmas and they replied saying I will most likely hear from them in a few weeks. Still waiting...

I never heard anything--so I'm marking this one as a no. Good luck to those waiting.

Any updates?
I like their web site and covers; their YA selection isn't huge, but maybe that would work in my favor? Unless they're just less interested in YA than in other genres...
TIA!

I published a book with them earlier this summer, and am about to sign for another. So far, everything has been good. Contract negotiations went smoothly last time, and editing went smoothly as well. Sales aren't bad. Hope that answers the question.

They offered to publish my novella but I turned them down because I didn't like their contract. Plus they took FOREVER to respond to emails which made me wonder how prompt they are with royalties.

Hi. Has anyone published with them lately? If so, how is their marketing department? I ask because while their site says they will help market your book, they ask for a marketing plan when submitting? That has me hesitating.
