dumbfoundry

"I started this page for two reasons. To give people thinking of submitting their work somewhere an idea of how long that outlet will take to respond (because they usually take longer than they say, or don't say at all), and also encourage places that don't respond at all, to start doing so. No writer likes waiting for a response that will never arrive. This was inspired by Critters.org, who do the same thing with fiction outlets. Dates are written in the U.K. way. These are guidelines, not definitive: Response times vary according to the number of pieces in a submission, and whether or not an outlet is thinking of accepting that submission. Also, there are always unforseen events that lengthen response times; one such example that i know of is a wedding. The most accurate figures here are the ones based on two or more submissions. Another inaccuracy: If queries were sent, this might quicken response; however, if no response was received to the submission or query, then you know that outlet is doubly rude."
