I worked with Mitchell for two years, went through four rounds of submissions, only two rejections. The rest were no response. He responded to email sporadically after two face-to-face meetings. He was too busy to read any new material. He quit Curtis Brown and never said a word. Only found out because his assistant was reading my emails (at least someone was).

Suppose I knew this one was a stretch, but the ones where you don't even get a response really sting!

I know someone who had a similar experience with this agent as janetdonkeys below. He requested an exclusive, requested two extensions on the exclusive and two rewrites, then went MIA. She's not sure he ever read either of the rewrites.

Requeried Mitchell via snail mail, since his email address didn't work. I didn't get a response to my Chain Reaction query or nudge last year. Chapters have been revised. Last shot at this.

Bummer my friend. Yeah mine didn't have a signature either. Oh well.

7/31/12, I sent him a query for Chain Reaction. Two weeks ago, I nudged him and got an ooo response. Closed/no response. Requery him in 2013, will try Maureen in December.
