Sarmut: Agents are really behind with their queries. Some are taking months to make decisions. I wouldn't nudge for at least three months.

Full ms request 5/1 - Mystery/Thriller. "found it interesting" - not as enthusiastic as one might hope from a request, but happy to have someone reading it.

@sarmut I feel the same about nudging agents. I know they're busy and get a lot of submissions and I would prefer a standard rejection over nothing at all. I wish there was an indicator that they've seen the query and it's in a maybe pile or no decision made yet pile. Something that lets us know if the agents have started on it or not. I am also amongst the sea of red, but only at day 14 myself.

Hoping someone will proffer an opinion. I submitted a query 19 days ago. The "autoreply" I received at the time says he tries to respond within three weeks but doesn't always manage to. The agency website says 2 to 4 weeks, but that individual agents have their own preferences. His query response rate on QT is 79%, so definitely not 100%. Looking at the stats, he has responded to dozens of queries both before and after mine. Mine is sitting there amongst a sea of red rejections. Possibilities include that he's still thinking about it. OR somehow, he skipped over it. I don't plan to do anything until at least day 21, but would you nudge him at 21 days? Or later? Or not at all? If his answer is "I'm not interested," fine, but if he somehow skipped over it, I'd like to nudge him asking him to take a look. But I'm paranoid about bugging an agent that might just need the extra time. Any thoughts on this?
