I'm getting to the submissions stage with my novel and just read somewhere that some of the major publishes expect you to only send it to them and no one else? Tor, for example, consider submissions exclusively with them, ie: You can't send to multiple publishers at once. At the same time, they say it might be 6 months before they get back to you...?
Is there some way around this? Is this legally binding? Is it different with other publishers? Is this an upside to getting an agent, if they are able to get around this? Is this why you all self publish? I'll stop with the questions now, though I could go on all day.
