If you're going to listen to me than listen to this. You need patience and lots of it! Giving Palladium a deadline to respond to you is unrealistic given their current schedule. Even the freelancers need to wait to have our projects reviewed, edited, and published.
Just to give you an idea back in 2002 when Palladium had a decent sized staff and Maryann was working there I submitted my first manuscript proposal. They approved my proposal six months later! It was published a year or so after that. Back then I was an unknown writer with my writing skills unknown. It takes time to build a relationship with a publisher which is what all of the guys with the Freelancer title have done. Building that relationship takes time and is not an instant process. It could take years. The best way to build a publishing relationship with Palladium is to have lots of patience and submit regularly to the Rifter. You can even call the office from time to time to ask if your submission was received and reviewed. As long as you're professional the phone calls are often pleasant and informative. If this is something you are interested in then good luck.
