Their submission guidelines say if we haven't heard after a month, to follow up.

Profile Update: Closed to queries.

I've yet to hear from a full sent after April 2017's DVpit.

Most agents are very busy right now, but I don't think any of them mind if you politely nudge for a full after 12 weeks. I've nudged two agents, one after 12 weeks and one who says to nudge after 8 weeks, and both sent me quick replies saying they were just very behind due to a lot of summer conferences. Nothing to worry about, moongirl! I've learned pretty fast that the reality with fulls is that they'll take four to six months, and only on the rare occasion less than that.

I don't think anyone has heard from her at all. This is certainly strange, I think she's so caught up in her diversity thing going on next month that she's taking a lot longer than usual.

@PilotKelson1056 I feel your pain! This business certainly takes patience.

Oh well! :-/

Don't take it personally –– she's just busy.

Beth said on twitter 8/22: FYI all: I’m very sorry I’m behind on queries! Things have been hectic. Planning to spend next week getting thru them all. <3

Well, this is extremely disappointing. Can't help but wonder why. Two full requests since I've queried. It makes me sad when I feel like the agent just doesn't like me for some reason or another. I feel like at the very least, they could copy and paste their rejection letter to me instead of just never replying at all.

Beth responded and apologized for taking so long. She said she didn't want to hold me back from querying other Bent agents, so go ahead and do that. I responded saying I was still really looking forward to hearing from her, and sent her updated pages and query.

I was nervous, too but her website and automated response clearly said it was ok. My nudge was pretty basic: "Just checking in on my query letter for [title] that was sent on [date]." Good luck!
