Our submission guidelines have been revised to include the following statement about simultaneous submissions:

Previously the policy at Pink Petal Books was not to accept simultaneous submissions. And honestly, we prefer exclusive submissions. Our turn around time is approximately two weeks, so we can assure you we will make a thorough, yet timely, decision on your manuscript. Reviewing a manuscript is more than reading it. There may be other considerations, or we may need to consult with other departments. However, should you wish to make a simultaneous submission, you may, so long as these guidelines are followed.

1) You must inform us in the cover letter that the manuscript is a simultaneous submission.
2) You must make us aware in any change in the manuscript’s status, as soon as possible. At this time, you may indicate if you wish to withdraw your manuscript or wait for our reply. We hope you will want to wait, and we’ll let you know how long it may take.

All our other regular guidelines apply. And for our “Contract for Christmas” contest, we do not accept simultaneous submissions.

Thank you.
