Question re Other Poetry

[OwenEdwards]

How quickly does one tend to hear back about an editorial panel decision? I had one that Rod put forward (in October) to the December panel and I was wondering when I might expect to hear back one way or another.

It takes a couple of months at least I think - but I suppose it must depend on the timing of the upcoming issue. Ask him - he seems to be a nice bloke.
Congrats on getting something through to the panel. Got my fingers crossed for you.

I have been published in Other twice, and on both occasions I was informed the day after the panel. Did he give you a date for the panel? If he said December I guess you'll hear this month.

He said the December panel, but expected a decision the first half of this month - I suppose no further correspondence implies a no, doesn't it? Ah well.

I've had a piece go through to panel, but then not get taken. Rod came back to me to let me know. So don't despair yet - you may still get a yes.

Also, I seem to remember on that the panel had been postponed by a few weeks for some reason...

I'm sure he'll let you know either way - he's a thoroughly decent chap. Last time I was in touch with him he said he was a bit snowed under. Hold tight.

Although I had a piece that didn't get in he did let me know as Brian says he is very decent about letting you know but it sometimes seems to take forever to hear back.

[OwenEdwards]

It was a no, this time, but the rejection letter was very warm.

I got one of those too, Owen. He's very gracious, isn't he?
