Patrick, I just saw this tweet: Agent Alert: Mitchell Waters is joining Brandt and Hochman as a senior agent. Keep an eye out for his #MSWL once he's settled!

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.

I called it, Angelscribe!
I have to say that after sending my query, a synopsis and two chapters, all printed on good paper, I think I was due at least a signature. The card didn't even have Waters' name on it.

Ah well, at least the world didn't end today.

Thanks Edelweiss. I'll cross my fingers for you.
