Pubishers' interest

by Kathleen Lingard

I had a publisher expressing interest in my work, asking me to submit whole manuscript then suddenly after five months, it was rejected. Is this common? I'm new to the game.

Thanks Cressida. I emailed them straightaway without any response so followed it up by another, asking for the return of my original memory stick containing the manuscript for obvious reasons of security. I have still not heard back in over a week.

I think in those circumstances you could ask for more feedback, as they were initially encouraging. Drop them a quick email or call and just ask what made them turn you down.

Thanks again Victoria - every bit helps. I hope to be on Kindle within the week. Had a glance at the tax info but will look again once I'm ready to go.
