Hi guys,
Can anyone offer some feedback? I recently sent a proposal to a publisher (8 weeks) who sent me an email 2 1/2 weeks ago asking me if I had signed yet and told me they would get back to me within a week with an answer (legit press). Well a week and then two has passed and no response. I don't want to seem pesty, and I don't want to assume no since the initial email was very promising.
What do you think? Is it ok to inquire? My inclination is to do so, since they said they'd get back within a week... but again, I don't want to be "that" pesty writer. And I've been published before... I am accustomed to long waits but it is quite frustrating to hear "we'll get back to you by this date" and then not respond, even if it is a no.
TIA
