I know this is being discussed in the Agent forum, (but as it relates to agent representation)
So I thought I'd ask here.
For grins and giggles, let us say I queried a few publishers about my book, and after 3 rejections and 2 no-hear froms (after several months of waiting) I decided it was time to try self e-publishing (like on Kindle).
Now, let us say all goes well and I publish the book myself on Kindle, and then a month or so later, a publisher I queried finally replies and decides that they would like to see the full manuscript, or (as is the case with one publisher) already has the full manuscript and they decide to take on the project (most likely unaware I've decided to self e-publish).
What would be the appropriate response on my part? Also, if I decide to self e-publish, do I stop querying publishers in hopes of one day getting the book in print?
