Update: 6/28 signed contract. After sending materials in response to her full request, she emailed me within three days to set up a meeting. She offered rep at the end of the meeting. We took two weeks to negotiate contract terms and talk through next steps. I appreciate her quick response to my materials yet the way we took our time to talk through what our contract will be, what next steps will be, what our long-term relationship might look like. So happy with the way this developed. I also want to note to others who are querying right now that it took almost a year of querying maybe 5-7 agents at a time, waiting for responses, tweaking my proposal and query letter according to feedback, and then going through a next round of 5-7 queries. It took a long time but was worth it to find just the right person. All of this to say be patient, be persistent, and you'll find the right person. Good luck and keep working on your craft!
