Finding a Publisher

[JWT]

In an attempt to find a publisher for my latest sci fi novel I submitted a manuscript to three separate publishers, namely, Storm Publishing, Second Sky Publishing and Inkubator Books. I assumed these publishers were independent of each other. The submissions were made on different days. Imagine my surprise when the rejections landed in my inbox on the same day within minutes of each other, the first at 9.16pm, the next at 10.01pm and the third at 10.24pm.

Surely this is stretching coincidence too far? Do these publishers use the same editorial team?

Any know the answer?

I've moved your post to Writing, JWT, where I think you'll get more of a response. For what it's worth, I think it's just coincidence, but others may know more than me.
