I suppose that in this modern age when every thing is instant - even publishing can be instant via 'e' publishing, it must be difficult for authors to understand that they have to wait to get a response from a publisher. And that publishing can take up to two years from date of submission ( I have had to wait longer). and that enquiry after two weeks will not hasten the procedure. New authors, especially, are often guilty of the overzealous request - for WHEN will I be published.
'Attitude' does not help either, the threat to take the Ms elsewhere will not move your manuscript any faster through the process and might well turn off a prospective publisher of your story.
If you really can't wait, then go into epublishing. It's quick, low cost and gets you instant results.

Hazel, when you had to wait longer than 2 years to get a manuscript published, did you hear anything at all from the publisher during that time, or did their response come when you'd almost forgotten about the submission?
I heard after some time that they were interested but I didn't get a contract for a long time. I've actually waited longer than two years to get a manuscript published.
Concerning commercial printing, I've truly came across so many resources for knowledge it really is too much to handle sometimes. However I do appreciate the post listed here titled "When are you going to publish my book?".
