Requested full manuscript on 3/3/25 and sent the following day. Now 451 days later and no response. Probably super busy, but not getting any word after sending a full manuscript can be brutal.

Always verify agent's information before sending your query, and review the agent's website(s) for more up-to-date information.
Though we do our best, QueryTracker can not guarantee the accuracy of any information provided.
An agent listing on QueryTracker is not an endorsement or recommendation of that agent by QueryTracker.
Before contacting an agent, authors should verify and assess the agent's requirements and suitability by visiting the agent's website(s), and becoming familiar with ways to spot and avoid bad agents. A good place to start is Writers Beware, a watch group that helps inform and protect authors from shady practices.
He requested a full manuscript from me in March 2025. I politely checked in twice later that year. Then, in July 2026, he declined my manuscript. No sweat, not for him. Not bummed about that.
But almost a year and a half and he couldn't find 2 mins to just say, "hey sorry, things are crazy but I will read asap and let you know."
Just doesn't seem very kind or professional to me.
And at the very least, a fair warning to anyone whose manuscripts he's requested. I would've liked to know this in March of 2025.
