I think you're right Sampa4. Several of their agents have relocated to new agencies, including one of their namesakes, Geri Thoma.

Requeried Venom.--
Oops. I accidentally requeried him today on 7/2/12 and 7/23/12. Bad me.

11/5/12: I requeried Gary Johnson again with new query. Didn't hear back form hm on summer requeries and closed them out. I need to keep track of my requeries.

lenahill, I nudged him on 10/12, but have had no response.

I'm in this situation with at least three agents (3-4 months each). All requested the ms enthusiastically. It's discouraging.

I have one agent who has requested a full, but will only look at it exclusively. He told me to mail it to him if none of my current submissions pan out. At this rate, I could be sending it to him years from now.

I'm sort of in the same situation. Emailed Elaine Markson, got a request from him. He didn't specify how many pages he wanted--just said, "Sure, send it to me." I emailed it a few days later (this was August), but never heard back or got a comfirmation of receipt. I 'nudged' a few weeks ago. No response.

I think you should nudge him in October. Give him time. Keep me posted.

Thanks, angelscribe. I'm not hopeful, though. When he requested it, he didn't specify whether he wanted it by email or hard copy, and I was brand new at this, so I wrote to ask how he wanted it. No response. I submitted by email, no acknowledgement. I also forgot to change the subject line to "Requested Material." Such a newbie!

Should I wait until 10/1 to nudge?

Way to go Flygal! I've queried him on 6/6. I nudged him two weeks ago. He's a NR for me. At least you got a full Flygal. Will try Elaine next month.
