Re: No Word from Publisher
TC - that is not unusual - esp for a small publisher who is inundated by
queries and does not have the staff to respond to all in a timely manner
much less get the daily tasks done and work on other projects in the limited
work week. I'd give it AT LEAST two more weeks before contacting them again
and do so by email.
Sincerely,

When a publisher says they'll get back to you, but never does, what do you
do?
I talked with a small press publisher recently (in early January) who
directed me to their Web site so that I could follow his printing house
query letter submission guidelines. I prepared my letter, precisely
following those guidelines, submitted it, and began my wait of about two
weeks. After not hearing anything at the end of that two week period, I
called and spoke with the publisher. He was pleasant, and acknowledged
receipt of my query letter. He informed me that he would have two of his
editors review my letter, and all but promised that I'd hear something
within two weeks - that was three weeks ago and still I've not heard
anything. I've left two voice messages, but have not emailed.
What should be my next course of action?
