Simultaneous Submissions: Part 2

Choose Your Publishers Carefully
Dispite the long waits for publishing, writers should keep in mind that in the children's industry for books, the manuscipts will be read. It is very possible that an unknown author can be found. Target your work to the right publisher in the first place. Editors prefer this too!

Follow these tips:

Send multiple submissions to publishers that invite them.

Send queries on a multiple basis.

Watch for publishers with single-submission policies. Request a decision within a certain amount of time.

As a result, if an acceptance letter greets you at the mailbox, please notify other companies that have your manuscript that the work has left the market. Just imagine you were the editor that has spent time reading a piece no longer for sale.
