annathepiperFaerie Blood's turnaround times so far:
First outing to Tor: two months, eighteen days.
Second outing to Tor: three months, twenty-seven days.
Partial outing to Luna: one month, twenty-seven days.
Full outing to Luna: five months, eleven days.
Lament's turnaround time at Bantam: two months, eight days.
All of these are counting the turnaround time from the day I sent the manuscript out to the day I got a solid reply back one way or another. So Bantam's turnaround time is comparable to Tor's, pretty much. Luna is still in the lead for fastest reply as well as longest reply, though they've so far been the only ones to see one of my fulls. This is all pretty good, I think, considering the various tales of woe I've heard others tell about a manuscript languishing for months on end, even up to over a year, in certain slush piles.
Of the rejections I have received from publishers, one was a form letter, one was a form letter with a note scribbled on it, and two were personally addressed.
A pretty decent track record so far for a comparative newbie, I think.
