I submitted How Cow Found Her Moo in July/06 and recieved my receipt within a week that they had recieved it. I forgot to stamp my reciept but they stuffed it into an envelope and stamped it themselves. Unheard of! After 5 months of waiting I send them a letter stating that if they were done considering it would they please send it back to me (exclusive submission) so I can pass it on. I got a letter back from them within days again, from the editor:
Thank you for your patience during our review of your manuscript How Cow... is still under review, as we are behind in our evaluation of submisions. (Yes, she wrote it like that, odd, is that correct?) We will try to get back to you in 3-4 weeks.
Sincerely...
I get excited when I read it, but I quickly lower myself to earth.
Just currious, what do you think it means? Is it still in the slush pile and their waiting to get to it, but then why would I get the reciept within days of sending it?
