[Discussion] submission: confirmation of receipt?

Hi Wise Folks of Pubtips,

My agent sent my manuscript out to about 20 editors this last Tuesday. As of today (Sunday), only about half have confirmed receipt. Is this a bad sign? My agent is good (70ish deals ranging all the way up to major) and with a great agency. Genre is thriller.

Thank you!
