I wish there was a better process for querying.

@JustinJoseph patience is a very important part of the querying process. Your query isn't even a month old. If you're this impatient/unwilling to wait for responses, you're not ready for the querying process, nor the publishing process. These things take so long. Once you get an agent, that's not even the end of the wait, only the beginning. Most books take a couple of years to be published after signing with an agent. You keep spamming so many profiles with the same comments, over and over. Someone else even told you this before, but you ignored it and are continuing to spam profiles. I understand it's hard to wait, especially when agents take over a month to respond, but that's just what querying is. Agents have a lot of work to do, aside from responding to queries. They have to take care of their existing clients. Not to mention, most agents get over 1000 queries a month. Imagine having that much material to read through. Instead of spamming profiles asking if someone got a response, put your energy into something more productive, like working on your next book, or refining your query letter and your manuscript. You're going to drive yourself insane, otherwise.

@JustinJoseph She only just re-opened to queries on September 12th. The agency's website says the general response time for queries is roughly 4 weeks, meaning unless you queried her back in the spring and didn't receive a reply, it's too early to nudge.
