Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but here it goes:
My first novel was recently accepted (unagented) by a well-known and reputable publisher. One of the editors e-mailed me saying she loved the novel and that she would like to begin contract negotiations. She said she would e-mail me back with the contract as soon as she could.
…Flash-forward five months.
I e-mailed her a few weeks ago with a polite follow-up, but still haven’t heard back from her since the initial e-mail.
What is the normal timeline between “yes” and a contract? Is it different for fiction and nonfiction?
I haven’t actually signed anything yet, but I sent it to them with an exclusive.
Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
