Was surprisingly responsive for such a high profile agent up to January this year, but not a logged query response since. Also worth noting, when I nudged on my full (requested December 2020) it turned out that the assistant I'd been directed to send it to had subsequently left Writer's House. Ah well, was a long shot anyway.

Thanks to jbshelleby and slcody for the info on the fulls. I just added a note for my records to remember. There is no excuse for this unprofessional and unkind behavior. If she doesn't have time to read a full, she shouldn't request it. I know this is a game we all have to play but this behavior in particular disgusts me.

The full request email specifically said it would take at least six months to hear back, and not to nudge unless there was a competing offer. I did not nudge. Never heard back at all.
