I've seen editors say we'll reply in 3 weeks, and then three months later you're still checking your mailbox. They are most definitely alive as of recently as I heard from them this month. Maybe they're seriously considering your sub? | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 5/20/2008 6:11 AM (GMT -4) | | I've had a piece there for a loooong time, and I'm not alone, judging by Duotrope. They have twitched occasionally in the past couple of months but there's clearly a huge backlog. I didn't get a response to a query so I'm pretty much considering the sub there to be in limbo (which means I can send it elsewhere, and if CW should actually pipe up and say they want it, I can reply "well as I got no response to my query I assumed you weren't interested, it's at X at the moment, but if it doesn't sell there and you're still interested I'm happy for you to take it").
I subbed to Doorways about the same time and the situation there is much the same (and I'm still, technically, waiting on Aberrant Dreams after well over a year). I'll be in no hurry to sub to those markets again. I know this isn't the business to be in if you're in a hurry, but frankly, I'll try more responsive markets first unless there's a very good reason to hit a slow market (said "very good reason" usually meaning it pays pro rates).
