If no reply within 6 weeks, continue with other agents. Requests updates of any offers of representation elsewhere.

What to make of this agent . . . Some authors receive responses the same day, some have silence. Going to go with the 6 weeks suggestion and mark this one CNR. It's only been 4 weeks for me but I'm getting a little tired of this no reply business. The average human only lives about 70 years. I can't keep burning month after month in hope and delay just because agents don't reply. Rejections sting, but at least you know you can move on.

Query + picture book submitted on 5/8/2020. At that time, the confirmation indicated 6 weeks as the average in which to receive a reply. I extended the expected response time due to Covid but still haven't heard anything as of 7/13/20. Went directly to the Aevitas website to see if I could send a follow-up e-mail. Basically ended up re-submitting the PB via Aevitas' submission form and received a slightly modified confirmation screen, indicating if you haven't heard within 6 weeks, it's a pass. Disappointed, but it is what it is.

Nearly 5 years from first agent query to getting to this point. Persistence pays.

2/18/19- Form query + 50 pages after meeting Rick at Savannah Book Festival.

Profile Update: Genres updated.

Emailed him a query and he responded right away that he wanted to have a phone call. This was before requesting material. We spoke a couple of days later and he was completely unprepared, like he hadn't bothered to look at my email again before our conversation. During our convo, he kept telling me how fantastic the agency was, how it's one of the top in the business. Sent him my material after the call, said he'd respond within a week. Didn't hear from him. Told him I had another offer. Would not go with this guy if he were the only agent left on the planet.
