Hi all! Any one else been in the same boat? I have had the initial proposal accepted and now i have forwarded on the complete manuscript. Am well aware that this could come back as something which is unsuitable but then again i started for and will continue to write for me and the ideas in my foggy brain. Regards

Yes I am also waiting to hear back from publishers who asked to see full ms which was sent six weeks ago to them. What I'd love to know is how often do they ask to see full ms? Is this pretty common? Does it mean much? How long do they take on average to read full ms? Last time I sent an agent a full ms at her request, I had to badger for a reply (rejection) which took months.
