I was offered a contract for my HF on the 31st Dec. I accepted and returned it back on the 3rd- four days after she offered me it. Now I haven't heard back and this editor is usually very quick in getting back. She might be on holidays or sick, but I'm having those newbie concerns because I took so long to respond, she will do the same. Being an American press they are a day behind so should I wait another few days or email her to see if she got it. We've had email issues (not arriving) in the past.
