Waiting for reply

1/30/17 Still waiting for reply. Sent nudge after 10 weeks and got response two weeks later that they'd begun reading my full. Fingers crossed.

When I sent an email to notify her of my offer of representation from another agent, she requested my full manuscript and a week to look at it (after sitting on the email for a week). Nearly two weeks later, I sent a nudge, asking how the reading was going. No answer. Ever. So she effectively delayed my signing with an agent by two weeks just because she couldn't bother to write me a quick note and say she had passed, and also left me waiting to figure out she had passed. Of all the agents who requested the manuscript, she was the only one who lacked the professional courtesy of sending an email when she decided to pass.
