Well, I'm now considering sending off details about my non-fiction book in the making to publishers to see if they might be interested in going with it - before I go down the self publishing route.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to hear back from publishers if they are interested? Can it take many months or just a couple of weeks, I would be really keen to get going with it myself and seld publish if I didn't hear back.

It may be weeks, but it'll probably be months if it needs to go to committee.
I would get on with writing it while you're waiting.

Hi Booky, things is very slooooooowwwww out there at the mo.
Be prepared to give it at least eight weeks.

How long, as they say, is a piece of string? Prepare to be patient and can I usher you on board our very own Lifeboar?
