Drew, ...Thanks, Kathleen...now I'm hungry! :)<br /><br />Drew, I use simultaneous submissions almost exclusively as I've been bitten too many times when a journal that doesn't accept SS keeps 4-5 poems for 8 months-a year. I read the guidelines very closely and don't submit if a journal doesn't accept SS. So, my 3 by four means three groups of four poems each. Each group went out to 4-5 journals. I also keep meticulous records and withdraw poems immediately if they are accepted elsewhere. I do understand that editors have heavy workloads, but I'd rather not put all of my eggs in one basket.Sandy Longhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735445958970512617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311201101178073119.post-13042526896530305592011-01-09T15:34:52.313-06:002011-01-09T15:34:52.313-06:00Thanks for the insight on your submission process,...Thanks for the insight on your submission process, Sandy. I'm curious about your system: When you say three groups of four poems each, do you mean the same four poems go to each journal? Or that you picked four distinct poems for each journal? <br /><br />Just curious, and pondering the simultaneous submissions issue. <br /><br />Bravo for your industry! And thanks for the peek into your pocess.drewhttp://www.drewmyron.com/off-the-pagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311201101178073119.post-45274123669378941822011-01-09T15:24:39.651-06:002011-01-09T15:24:39.651-06:00Sounds good.
