I submitted some children's poetry to Kids Can Press 7 weeks ago. They returned my postcard stating that they received it and it would be 2-3 months before they would respond b/c of a large volume of submissions.
I thought that since I haven't heard a peep for 7 weeks, perhaps I should prepare myself for rejection but a writer friend suggested that if they were going to reject me, I would have heard by now and that the reason it's been 7 weeks is b/c my material is going through the acceptance process.
Can anyone shed some light as to my friend's opinion? In the meantime, I'll continue to try to prepare myself for the inevitable 98%-standard rejection letter.
Thanks...kim
