hi, I've sent my first three chapters of my manuscript off to my selected agencies. While most of them say that they will respond in up to 6-8 weeks, do they really that long or are they just saying that to prevent being bombarded with questions?
thanks,
Don't sit clock watching... I think agents need to improve somewhat. I am with Victoria when she says most have not been read.
The age of self-publishing is growing and yet agents still don't give a SHXX. without a name you are just a blip to them.
Good luck and hope your a winner...
Hi Kimberley,
Agent response times are surprisingly long but also pretty accurate if you read their websites, etc. Anything short of three months is good - anything over and you can generally nudge once without it being too big a deal.
If you get a reply in 6 weeks you are doing well.
