by gruffalo84 on 07/21/08 : I'd only add that it's a great idea to visit a tutor you like again and again on future projects because once he his familiar with your work, he can help you to progress and improve your writing style. Great article, 5 stars! ... more »   respond »

by bostonNote on 05/19/08 : I do not recommend waiting an additional month to hear a response if you have already waited quite a bit of time. Time to move your submission somewhere else, and also consider never submitting to that journal again! Two weeks for postal mail and one week for email seems appropriate - after all, many journals do not send personal rejections but just photocopied sheets. (I received a rejection from "Light" that simply read, "Not quite.") When I contacted one journal to followup on a submission, I found that it had been rejected many months earlier.

Don't be a doormat. ... more »   respond »

I would add that with most submissions it is wise to submit to markets that are open to multiple submissions, meaning you can submit to more than one market at a time. That helps you move your career along a bit faster. It's fair to assume the editor is very busy, but then so are you. You don't have years to wait for your 'novel' to make the rounds. ... more »   respond »
