Very personable and encouraging when I met with her at a conference encouraging me to submit to her. When I did I received a one sentence form letter in response which was disappointing; no recognition that she'd expressed interest or even remembered me.

How long do you wait before nudging an agent who requested a proposal? Should I even bother asking (since a no-response is pretty much as good as a rejection, right)?

Queried last night, got a response this morning. Said she likes my idea and will read my proposal on Monday.

Thanks for the chance to consider this compelling story. Sorry but we focus on very practical nonfiction these days.

Best of luck, Marilyn

Marilyn replied very quickly to my query and said it sounded like a delightful book but she hadn't had any luck selling that topic area recently.
