I have made a submission of the synopsis, first three chapters of the MS and so on, to a multinational publishing house a week ago. Though they mention in their website that they have no objections if I make submissions to other publishing houses as well, I wonder if secretly they would feel offended and threatened if I would do so. Since I am a first time author my experience in this case is limited. The wait for a response is so cruel. Any suggestions, please?
There are still very few agents operating in Delhi or in India in general. However, my question is would the publishers feel threatened or offended even if I do inform them and submit my MS to other competing Publishing Houses?
Ideally you should have mentioned in your submission if you planned to submit to other houses at the same time.
Why straight to publishing houses? Do you not think you would need an agent?
