Due to the volume of submissions we receive, we may not be able to reply if we don’t think a proposed title will be a good fit. If you haven’t heard from us within two months of submitting your proposal, please assume that we have decided against pursuing your work further. For the same reason, we’re sorry to say we can’t always provide feedback or suggest alternative options for you to explore.
