Patience is certainly a virtue when you submit to publishers because they aren't in any hurry. <br /><br />I remember submitting a story and waiting 6 months. When I inquired, the publisher sent it back to me rejected within a week. So now I never inquire and eventually I do get an answer. Some publishers just don't want to be bothered with inquiries and will reject anyone who dares to do so. Please use caution.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363160316700035584.post-34558618685897321772009-11-16T21:35:26.809-05:002009-11-16T21:35:26.809-05:00Waiting is sooo hard!!

Often, you have to pay attention because some agents and publishers have a time frame for response. If you don't hear back within the time frame, it's a no. Hang in there and keep writing. :]Tara McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246124060126729229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363160316700035584.post-24716107740743623172009-11-15T20:06:17.445-05:002009-11-15T20:06:17.445-05:00The best advice I've received came from Laurie...The best advice I've received came from Laurie H. Anderson. She said that while she waits, she writes. By the time she sold her first novel, Fever, she had a back list of 12 more novels.

So frustrating, especially when you get NO word back.
