Arena Joke?
Last week I put together an email submission for The Friday Pitch as part of my submission to Allen & Unwin. From the guidelines, I was told that if they had not contacted six days later at the end of the business day, they were not interested in me.
Because of the time difference, I found out they weren’t interested on Wednesday. Naturally, I was a little disappointed, and to raise my own spirits I decided to submit my manuscript to them again so I could get some satisfaction out of knowing the editors had one more pointless submission to read before the end of the week.
I even considered doing it continuously every week until I got published elsewhere.
Anyhow. The irony is that after the second submission I got a confirmation email from Arena stating they received my submission. I never got a confirmation email the first time! Does this mean they didn’t get it the first time? I think they’re on to my plan for revenge and are turning it back on me.
Nevertheless, I guess we’ll see what happens the second time around.
