Title: NYT: Wait for reply before sending another?
Post by: KXL on October 24, 2014, 10:48:03 PM

Is there a generally accepted practice of waiting until you hear about one puzzle before you send in another, or is it OK to just keep sending them as you make them up?

You can send other puzzles while waiting, unless the publisher's instructions indicate otherwise. The advantage of waiting is that you may benefit from feedback you receive, thus avoiding repeating the same mistakes you made on earlier submissions. But some publishers take several weeks or even months to respond.
