A couple of years ago at an RT convention, I was sitting outside a room waiting for an interview and an editor for a major house was sitting across from me. We were chatting about normal things when a woman walked up, introduced herself and informed the editor that they'd had her book for six months and she hadn't heard anything yet. Then she placed an open laptop in the editor's lap and said "Since you're just sitting here, you can read it now."
Nothing surprises me any more.
Actually, six months is nothing for a major publisher and without having an agent. Which is exactly why everyone says you need an agent. Some people wait easily a year or more for a read.After six months, I admit I might be tempted to do that. But I never actually would. I can understand the frustration, but frustration is no reason to lose your professionalism.

I'm not all into those "toys" but would that be...*Googles.*
Oh, thank god. It's not what I was thinking, then.
I'm 49 and I had to look that one up! Just a whip, I guess.
And that's how Elvis first heard In The Ghetto.
