They relented after finding out I had edited it already, which in itself is questionable. They had asked that very question in the offer email message. You know, even if you've edited a piece a thousand times you still want your agent or editor to edit again, correct? So to mirror all these responses from you, my bells are ringing too. Also, I did return the most recent message asking the very questions posed here. Still waiting for an answer.
There has to be something out on them, though. They indicated they've been in business 28 years.
