Still Waiting...

It has been 3 months now since I sent out my book proposal to David C. Cook publishing and I have not heard anything yet. I'm hoping this is good news because I think I would have heard by now if they did not like the proposal.  I cannot give it to the self-publishing company until I hear back because once they accept it, the own the rights to it. I'm trying hard not to get impatient, but the self- doubt is slowly creeping in....=)

    Michelle, you are correct that in publishing, not a No is a Maybe. And authors can live on maybe for quite a while. After 2 or so months, however, it can be worth an author's while to confirm with the publisher that her proposal has been received. In the places where I worked, and in conversations with other book editors, it seems that about 4% of all submissions to all publishers get mislaid somehow.
