Manuscript Reading Times & Acquisition Decisions
Once the acquisitions editor has finished reading your submission, and if they would like to recommend publication to the RHP team, your manuscript will be discussed at the next scheduled acquisitions meeting, which occur every two weeks. We have recently transitioned from three acquisitions meetings a year to a perpetual ongoing acquisitions process which allows us to move manuscripts through the process far more efficiently, which means less time waiting on the part of our prospective authors.
If you receive an invitation to proceed to the next stage of the acquisitions process, the RHP team will ask you for additional marketing information that may be useful in our assessment.
Storefront Return & Exchange Policy: While we are happy to issue a refund at any point before your item has shipped, once it has been put in the mail, we can no longer issue refunds. We appreciate your understanding in this matter, and, as always, are immensely grateful for your support of an independent press.
