her famous fast rejection :)

PortiaDe, thanks for giving voice to the exact thing I've been wondering. And thank you to leightongrey for solid advice and encouragement. This is such a wonderful community. :)

Thanks Leightongrey, I agree it is best to keep querying and writing. I did manage to sell one manuscript directly to a small publisher, but this is a different genre. Perseverance is key. Good luck with your projects. x

@PortiaDe

From looking at her query timeline, it looks like Sara still responds to fulls - it just takes a few months. It's been eight months since I queried my last project I've since shelved and there's still three agents that haven't responded to my fulls. At this point I've assumed they're just not interested enough to pursue, which is fine. But there's also another agent who responded to a query asking for a full last month. Publishing is slow and to be honest, if I were an agent, checking fulls and queries would be on the bottom of my list. Just keep querying and writing, and it will eventually work out. That's what I say. :)

For those writers who have been waiting more than 4 months after submitting a Full and after nudging...at what point do you give up hope of ever hearing back and just move on? I have always continued to query other agents, but always with the hope that she would respond at some point. Now I'm beginning to think it ain't gonna happen.

Quick and painful. :)

484query, thanks for that. I sent a full back in January, nudged at the beginning of May, and have yet to hear back. Knowing I'm not alone is comforting. Wishing you good luck!

Slow as molasses in reading full manuscripts. So if you get a request, don't expect a quick response.
