Unfortunately I don't have a computer there for I can't print the PDF files. I read you posted that a printed copy of the book would be available. Being that this post is about a year old I was wondering if I could get the free printed book instead of the download. Is there anyway this can be possible?. Thank you in advance for your response.

Your question is a good one. I would suggest giving the publisher you submitted to a heads up that after X number of months, you plan to reach out to another publisher. If they ask for 3 months to review your submission it seems reasonable that you would move on after 4 or 5 months to pursue other options. As a former editor who received those submissions, getting a letter or email from an author inquiring about their submission status was always welcome. Good luck! Debbie Good luck! Debbie Dear Abby,

Thank you for all of your valuable insight! I have developed an educational method that I believe will be valuable to music educators. As you suggest in your article, I have submitted it to a publisher for review. My question is, how long should one wait before submitting to a different publisher? Most publishers state they only accept exclusive submissions, and request to have the material for about three months. They also say you may never hear back from them. In this respect, it may take years to submit an idea to only a few publishers. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you, Abby Hi Debbie,

I do plan on purchasing a copy of it. I do not believe that there is enough recognition that can be paid to artists like you who dedicate themselves to educating children through music. I will read more of your blogs to see if you discuss whether receiving a Grammy nomination was even one of your goals when you started performing children’s music. I wish you the best as you continue making music that children love and that the world needs. Uncle Devin Congratulations on the nomination and for your song on anti-bullying.
