A Question for Medical Experts
Old Bill:
Good for you, Bob. To help me and others, can you give us a time line during this nearly 6 year period of your progress. Specifically, from the time your MS was completed to the time it was picked up; how many submissions, etc. Any tips you care to share on the entire process would be appreciated and helpful.
Thanks,
Old Bill

The manuscript wasn't finished until late 2015 (Plot problems, and other projects pushed it to the back burner).
First, it was rejected by Ellery Queen and Hitchcock (I always go to the top markets first, even though, for me, that's pretty much a pipe dream). Hitchcock usually takes a long time responding, so it didn't go out again until May 2017. After five more rejections, it was accepted in December.
Now, it's a long wait until publication.
Bob
Old Bill:
Thanks, Bob. Patience and persistence pays off.
