Does Anyone Submit mss. to different editors at the same pub. house?

[orleans]

of course not at the same time. but i'm wondering...

i know some lit. agencies say that if you query/submit to one agent you submit to all of them (at least in the smaller agencies), but the larger ones (like writers house) doesn't care if you submit to a second or third agent--just don't do it all at once.

so..
i'm wondering how that works for publishers--the larger houses with a number of editors (such as simon & schuster)

any thoughts on this?

1. If you arn't published, then your manuscript goes to a slush pile...

And they assign their most junior people to read through the slush pile.

Most publishing houses do not accept unagented material. Go to the book store and check out agents and start that way.
