Not to be a complainer or anything, but a response, other than automated, would be greatly appreciated! Even if the response is, "thanks, but no thanks". Hey Brenda, I know that you probably got innundated with emails, but from our perspective, we're kind of left hanging out there. In our biz, we can take rejection. But I'm just saying, a response would be nice. A follow-up would be good business practice. I can take bad news; I'm used to it. Even an acknowledgment that you received our submission would be preferable to silence.
