I do think, in this age of instant, easy and free correspondence, a one line email is not asking too much after 9 months.<br />I just don't think there is really any excuse for this.Christine Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058419743726981987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-81473230029192343362010-05-04T22:05:48.100-04:002010-05-04T22:05:48.100-04:00Well, to be fair--some publishers get 1000 manuscr...Well, to be fair--some publishers get 1000 manuscripts per month. Editors come and go, get promoted, have babies. Budgets get cut and new management comes in. Manuscripts get misplaced and found again. It's been this way since I've been in the business (decades). I'm pleasantly surprised when I DO hear back, even if it's just a scrawled note on a form.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-55659979148488303522010-05-04T05:05:51.806-04:002010-05-04T05:05:51.806-04:00I'm shocked that anyone in business would have...I'm shocked that anyone in business would have no contact with the very person who creates the product the company sells for 6 months, let alone not reply to an email after that long period of time. If an Editor or Publisher knows they are too busy to even email an author they have requested a manuscript from, then why request in the first place? I realize it's hard to say no to something they might love and want to publish but it is just very wrong to put another persons career and life on hold for almost a year (or more as some have said) without a word. At the very least they should warn the requested author about a potential years delay before they can respond.Christine Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058419743726981987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-38020602042330042402010-05-03T20:58:41.650-04:002010-05-03T20:58:41.650-04:00Ditto, ditto, ditto.

And I've also had it happen that I never heard from the editor again (yes, an editor who had requested the manuscript). Once, an editor got back to me with an offer three years later. I was happy to be able to tell her that the manuscript had sold to a bigger (and better) house and was about to be published.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-63964002233716428282010-05-03T20:46:25.240-04:002010-05-03T20:46:25.240-04:00Here in NZ, I have had my last five books contract...Here in NZ, I have had my last five books contracted on a synopsis and a couple of chapters.<br /><br />In the US, my agent has now been trying to find a home for my epic trilogy since May last year! <br /><br />He hasn't given up.

As the person sending the query, it's easy to feel like you're at a disadvantage (not to mention, in an information vacuum) when you're anxious not to seem like a pest or a stalker but you still want to know what's happened to your manuscript.<br /><br />I've luckily never been in this situation. Whenever my full ms. has been requested, I've been rejected mercifully quickly (with one notable exception, forthcoming in January). :)Sarah Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16534942492714970282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-17041004851237490182010-05-03T17:33:02.873-04:002010-05-03T17:33:02.873-04:00Wow, this has to be a terribly frustrating and dis...Wow, this has to be a terribly frustrating and disappointing experience.

It may be ridiculous where EA works, but it isn't at all unusual for certain houses, big or small. I've had agented mss with editors of large houses for six months without reply. Eleven months in one case. More than three never responded at all, for work they said they WANTED to look at. <br /><br />I'm sorry for this person, though. It is so frustrating to get that far, get that request, and then not be respected enough to be informed of what is going on. The trouble with "subbing to others" is that most "others" want only agented subs, and so there may not be that many "others" to sub. I'm crossing my fingers for the OP -- to get an editor that both respects their work and their time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-59495128071339461712010-05-03T16:50:18.775-04:002010-05-03T16:50:18.775-04:00Oh man, do I feel for the questioner.

I only count it as three years because that's how long it took to sell the manuscript elsewhere.<br /><br />As for the editor, she not only moved to another house but became someone Quite Noted in the publishing world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
