I get that you're "busy" but if you requests someone's full and they take the time out of their day to send it to you, the least thing you can do is just say "it wasn't for me" or "it's a pass." It's amazing how some agents want so much respect yet don't give it. Remember, if it weren't for writers, you wouldn't have a job.

The agency say they aim to read and respond to all fulls within 30 days of receiving. After waiting over a year with several nudges to Hannah Sheppard after she requested my full back in 2019, I had to close the query. Seriously, though, over a year? I sent her about 3-4 nudges. She was my first ever full request and I was so disheartened by the whole experience.

Hannah represents authors across children’s fiction (from 9+ including teen and YA) and a small number of adult fiction authors (her main interests are thrillers and romance). Hannah does not? represent picture books.

ER: 6/22/21 Very kind rejection that was personalized.
“Many thanks for giving me the chance to consider your work. I enjoyed the material you sent but I'm afraid this isn't one for me (I actually have a _______ out on submission at the moment and this would sit too close on my list). Please don't be disheartened though, this is a subjective business and just because a book doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it isn't going to work for someone else.”
