Title: WSJ time frame for puzzle submissions
Post by: fggoldston on June 16, 2016, 04:08:21 PM

Since there is no time frame posted in the specifications posted by WSJ and especially since we are told to just 'be patient' I don't want to re-send a puzzle I submitted to WSJ in March.  But the last time I submitted one, I got a response a month later and I am coming up on 4 months this time which even Will Shortz seems to think is an unreasonable amount of time for NYT submissions.  Is the address for WSJ (wsjpuzzles@mikeshenk.com) still a correct one?  Does anyone know if WSJ is really backed up or something?  And would anyone know if I should just sit tight, or go ahead and re-submit to a different e-mail that I have on file for them (which seems like an underhanded thing to do if one of his helpers is backed up and I bring that to light by sending it out to another).
thanks

I had my facts wrong when I posted the above.  I did receive a response and just missed it in my e-mail.  Sorry if I offended anyone at the WSJ - it wasn't intended.
