It&#39;s one of the reasons you are a stand out in this field: you really care and your actions show it. Good luck with the system, but remember, most of us are willing to wait on YOU.Donna Jones Koppelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857811448882017818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-45035919085354399832007-11-07T14:06:00.000-05:002007-11-07T14:06:00.000-05:00Congrats Cheryl on the promotion!!Just curious...w...Congrats Cheryl on the promotion!!<BR/><BR/>Just curious...what happens to the "non-squid" mss that were sent to "Inquiry?"<BR/><BR/>What happens to these?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>PattyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-72538695905990913982007-11-04T14:32:00.000-05:002007-11-04T14:32:00.000-05:00Congrats on the promotion and thanks for the SQUID...Congrats on the promotion and thanks for the SQUID info.

Congratulations.Boo for the...Yay for the promotion! Congratulations.<BR/><BR/>Boo for the fact that just 4 days before this post I sent you a freaking status query on a Feb sub. Now I feel like a goon. Sorry.<BR/><BR/>I think the letter saying you'd like to review further is a great idea, because most of us will wait and wait as long as we know you've got the ms and just need some time. It's when we start imagining a host of postal-related catastrophies that we start to sweat and wonder if our ms was ever received.<BR/><BR/>I like Anna's suggestion of a form email saying you'd like more time, so you still have the SASE for the ms. OR you could ask people to include a #10 SASE as well as the manilla SASE. If you need the #10 for a "wait" letter, you've got it. If you don't need it, you can return it with the manuscript.<BR/><BR/>At any rate, I agree with other posters that most people who have made it past the "Not Right for Me" stage would prefer comments. Your thoughts are worth the wait.<BR/><BR/>As long as we know you've got the manuscript and it's in the queue, we'll usually wait indefinitely.<BR/><BR/>-KristinW.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-20233899337429306942007-10-29T13:33:00.000-04:002007-10-29T13:33:00.000-04:00Hearty congratulations, Senior Editor!Hearty congratulations, Senior Editor!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-35389260355094479482007-10-28T20:11:00.000-04:002007-10-28T20:11:00.000-04:00Perhaps you could have a form email for the writer...Perhaps you could have a form email for the writers of manuscripts you need to hold on to.

While I agree with other comment-makers that waiting is part of the game and editorial comments are a privilege, not an expectation, I very much appreciate your idea to send a form notice that a manuscript is in the "respond" pile, waiting to be dealt with. Knowing the delay is not due to the U.S. Mail (manuscript never reaching you, or response never reaching us) is immensely reassuring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-21124357541663674502007-10-28T01:30:00.000-04:002007-10-28T01:30:00.000-04:00and that was totally supposed to be a "Congratulat...and that was totally supposed to be a "Congratulations on your promotion (EXCLAMATION POINT!)"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-46039522813772073942007-10-28T01:29:00.000-04:002007-10-28T01:29:00.000-04:00Congratulations on your promotion?Does one need to...Congratulations on your promotion?<BR/><BR/>Does one need to be in New York?

My biggest concern...Congratulations, Senior Editor! <BR/><BR/>My biggest concern about your proposed changes to SQUIDs is the time it might take to explain those changes. I suspect you'll have to do it more than once.<BR/><BR/>You often announce here when you process SQUID mss. Can authors who don't hear from you soon after such an announcement assume (scary word, I know) their ms is in the Respond pile? I think they can.<BR/><BR/>It's standard procedure to follow up after 6 months, so I'm not sure you need the 2nd form letter.<BR/><BR/>I'm not convinced you need to do anything differently. SQUID authors know what you're dealing with (or should), and choose to be part of the SQUID program for the personal attention. Otherwise, they wouldn't submit a SQUID, right? If you don't want Cheryl's comments, don't submit a SQUID.<BR/><BR/>If you want Cheryl's comments, submit a SQUID and be prepared to wait--if you're lucky enough to have to.<BR/><BR/>It's generous of you to want to improve the program, but I think checking for lines in cover letters and choosing between 2 form letters will only complicate the system and make it slower. <BR/><BR/>Writing SQUID on a submission means I want Cheryl's comments if the ms makes it to the Respond pile, and I'm willing to wait for those comments. <BR/><BR/>The end!JenFWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04426266278784991887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-52016644444266844122007-10-27T13:16:00.000-04:002007-10-27T13:16:00.000-04:00Senior Editor!
