Anyone know how long it takes to hear back from publisher after submitting a manuscript?
2 months? 6 months? Or maybe more?

Nonfiction book.

1. Depends on the publisher
I write single title contemporary romance. The wait can be anywhere from three months to a year. It depends on the publisher, the agent involved and the backlog.

You might try the writers' group for more information.

In the meantime, good luck! I hope you'll be hearing good news soon!

3. Single title
means a book that's not part of a "line" (brand name) like Harlequin Books. The books that are "category" romance will usually have similar covers, word-counts, and degree of sensuality, etc.

4. these days
you should just ask your agent

if you don't have an agent, it's fairly unlikely that you'll ever hear back anything
