10/17 sent query
12/18 rejection
Supernatural Thriller, Suspense, Fantasy and pure awesomeness

Honestly, I'm glad she read it and responded. She appears legitimately sincere and nice to work with. I never nudged the entire 62 days it took her to get back to me. I have a seven book series I've written over the last four years to attend to, and a brand I'm gearing up to form. The one time I nudged was with an agent who had my manuscript and told me she was excited for it. She declined shortly after. I believe nudging pushed that agent too much over the edge and I lost my chance. But, it seems to work for (a few) others, so I'm not sure.
Well, I've given this some long and hard thinking. I have a marketing plan and professional designers. Yeah... I'm self publishing this bad boy... because it ROCKS!

Sent rejection exactly two months later, saying she will pass on work. I would figure as much on my own, even without her response...



"Thank you so much for giving me a chance to consider your work. Unfortunately, I don’t believe I’m the right person to represent it effectively.

Publishing is such a subjective industry; so, please don’t be discouraged. I wish you the absolute best of luck finding an agent who can represent your work with the enthusiasm it deserves"
