@tophersghost056 - In the past year, she has requested something after 215 days, for what that is worth. It is a bit hard to tell about "usually" with agents, so you have to go with your comfort level, I suppose.

How long do you normally wait to CNR Ms. Weiss? I'm well past the point that she usually requests, so I'm thinking now might be the time to give up on this one.

ER: 4/16/18
Alex was such a delight to query. She gave incredibly thorough, thoughtful feedback on my pages, and said that while the manuscript had much she was looking for, the voice threw her a bit, and suggested it might be better suited to YA. Her commentary was constructive and helpful, and she welcomed me to query with another manuscript when I have one ready. I just wrote back to answer a few of her questions and see if she might be open to a R&R for this manuscript -- fingers crossed! I think anyone would be lucky to work with Alex. She clearly knows her stuff.
