In general, how long does it take a traditional publisher to approve/disapprove your manuscript from the time you submit it to them? The literary work is fiction and is about 330 pages.
Also, is it a good idea to submit to more than one traditional publisher at a time? Or, should you wait for rejection, then try again somewhere else?
Should you have an agent?

Check the publishing houses guidelines. They will give you an idea of what they are accepting and from whom. An agent is nice, but it can be hard to get one until you have a contract.

Science Fiction Writers Of America, SFWA has an excellent site that provides info on various publishers and agents: www.sfwa.org/other-resources/for-authors/writer-beware/
