Edited to clarify: I'm referring to submissions/pitches made by an AGENT on behalf of represented client to an EDITOR at a publishing house.
I'm in new territory and I'm not sure where to pose this question. This forum seems focused on getting an agent, and the Editor forum seems to focus on developmental editing. My question is about editors at publishing houses.
Are editors at publishing houses as overwhelmed with pitches as agents are? Are requests for full manuscripts as rare from editors as they tend to be from agents? I'm on sub now and want to get a handle on the process.
Mods--please let me know if there's a better forum for a question like this. The publishing business forum, maybe? That seemed to have a lot of questions relevant to negotiations.
