Exclusive Submission?

The latest publisher requesting a full wants an exclusive submission. But wait a minute. By this time, I've submitted to a bunch of publishers. I have to assume they know that. So they must mean stop submitting until they make a decision. I let them know that I've submitted to other publishers and three of them are already considering my manuscript. They didn't seem to mind, and said they are reviewing my full right now.

I can wait for a few weeks, as long as it doesn't drag out. So, I will hold off submitting for a bit. It's great to know that editors are giving you a chance. It looks like THE VASE will be published before KILLER OF KILLERS. That's OK. They're both great stories. My sentimental favorite is KILLER OF KILLERS, though it might be because it's my first novel. It's the kind of story I like. If I wanted to read a book, it would be one like KOK. If I wanted to see a movie, it would be one like KOK.

THE VASE is different because it really doesn't have a lot of action. It does have a lot of tension, otherwise it would fail Donald Maass's requirement of tension on every page. Rest assured, it's a book that has a lot going for it. Can't wait to put it up on the blog when it's published. You know, like so many other writer blogs have their books featured with pictures, or photos, and links to buy their book. It's what I'm waiting for now. Fingers crossed.
