Anyone have any recent information on this publisher? Sending my entire manuscript straight away to this company feels uncomfortable, especially as a minor. This is saddening to me because I've grown up on the Boxcar Children books.

Storyman, I subbed a MS to them, heard from them a week later and was offered a contract for two books from slush. But I think it is 6 months to be a CNR.

Good question, StoryMan. I have wondered the same thing. How long before we consider our submissions a CNR?

An MG book under 35K words? That is really difficult for fantasy.
