Dear Writers,
I have had my full ms with a literary agent since 11 March but have not yet had a reply.
I submitted my query on 9 March (her submission requirements are the first ten pages and synopsis) and she replied on the 11th, asking to read the whole novel.
I checked the agency website for response times but there is no indication at all. What is the general feeling about when (or if!) I should politely follow up my submission? The last thing I want to do is annoy her, but it has been almost 2 1/2 months now...
Any advice or thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Thanks Damien. Yes, I'm certainly not assuming anything. I know a lot of writers have been in this position before and a request for a full is no guarantee of an offer.
Don't hold your breath but I wish you all the luck in the world.
Thank you DD. I'm going to do that - leave it another two weeks and then drop her a brief email.
Appreciate the advice.
Best,
Julie.
