In the process of writing a novel, sometimes one had to wait patiently for the feedback of the readers or editors, and sometimes one had to try different methods to attract the readers 'attention. Of course, sometimes editors or readers might not give a reply for various reasons, but that did not mean that there was no way to submit it elsewhere. Before submitting, you can read the editor's or the publish's submission guide to understand their requirements for the submission format, content, style, and so on. If they did not meet the requirements, they could try to readjust the work and submit it according to stricter requirements. He could also try to share his work on social media or forums to attract other people's attention. He could also consider publishing his own collection of novels or short stories to showcase his works through other channels. Just because there was no reply to the submission did not mean that there were no other ways to solve the problem. The important thing was to be patient, flexible, and constantly try new methods.
