Can't recommend submitting to this agent. My stats:
EQ Jan 10, 2019 (lit-fantasy crossover, 155K words)
Req full: 1/11/2019
As of today - Jan 10, 2020, a year later - I've had no response on the full. Nudged him in October, using the general email address at his new agency. He replied and said he "should have it read soon," but since it's been so long, I'm considering this a CNR. Per this thread, sounds like I'm not the only one who's had this kind of experience with him.

Has anyone ever heard back on a full from him? I nudged him earlier this year to notify him that I'd substantially revised the MS, but heard nothing back then either. According to the timeline, it doesn't look like he's ever replied to a full request, but that seems weird?

Is Erik taking a break from answering queries? The timeline says he hasn't answered queries since Mid-Oct. 2019

Thanks, @bwchilds - I will do the same - maybe if others are too he'll be moved to act eventually.

@onelovegcy - I've had a full out with him since Nov. of last year and sent an e-mail last week (9-3-19) to the General Inquiries at the new agency to ask about what the status of manuscripts in transition might be. Nothing but radio silence so far. Probably going to CNR by the time the full reaches a year.

He's had my full since 15 Feb and I'm ready to nudge him, but not sure how to go about it as the new agency has a submission.form and his old contact method (at Red Sofa) was email. Has anyone in a similar situation tried this? Say, by using that "general inquiries" email address or something? I really like the direction he seems to be taking with the new agency and would like to get back and touch... to see if I'm still in the running. Any thoughts welcome.
