Has anyone dealt with Ms Campbell at Beacon?
I am not sure if there has already been a thread about them or not. "Bewares," has been a tremendous help to me with my latest book. When I published my first book "Hungry For More" in 2006, there wasn't this kind of dialogue among writers.

Thanks in advance.

I don't find any mention of a Ms. Campbell on Publishers Marketplace. Any idea what her role is there?

Ms. Campbell is an editor. I was referred to her by an author she published. I mentioned that in my query, but haven't heard back. It has been over 90 days. Should I take that as a reject?
