@timeoftimes02 6 months is generally an acceptable time to nudge! :)

EQ: August 2018
ER: March 2019 (request for more PB stories)

I was so shocked, surprised and super excited for the chance to send more of my work in March. It's been about 8 weeks, though, without a response. I assumed my August 2018 submission was a CNR. Not sure whether I should just sit-tight and wait this one out, too. Kind of wondering if my query went back to the bottom of her queue, even though it was requested. It's hard to be patient when such a fabulous agent requests more material!
