Are They Reading A Sentence A Day?
So I submitted my play Goodbye Dolly to Baker’s Plays about the middle of October. Up to a six to eight month wait, so I was hopping to hear something in the next month or so.
Well, I heard from them. Apparently it will take ANOTHER six to eight months for them to complete their “extensive reading process.”
…
I suspect what happened is this:
The Baker’s website said that they would send a postcard notifying the writer when they receive the play. So apparently they just GOT to my play in the mass of submissions. Hopefully they skimmed it/read the first ten pages/whatever to see if it was worth considering, and shot me a postcard to notify me they were going to consider it. Because I’m hoping they actually have some interest and aren’t just sticking it in another pile to get a glance and a quick no many months down the road.
So no big sales or publications before I turn 25, I guess.
