Does this seem like a good sign?

Three months. If you haven't heard by then, then you can send a status query. Remember that the agent isn't just reading your requested material. There's her existing clients, plus any other requested material she's got waiting to read.

Yes, seems good but I agree with Cyia on the 3 months. Start working on something new in the meantime!

Time is relative. To the writer with material under consideration, every second is a year. To the agent or editor considering the material, every year is a second.

Get back to work. It's the best distraction in the end and the best cushion against any disappointments.

However, things sound like they're going well. CGs on what you've already accomplished, which is uncommon enough.

And, hey, look! I'm from Rhode Island, too! I guess the Quahog Fairy led me to this thread.

Nope. Horrible sign. Get out of there...get out now! Run for your life!!!

Just messing. Good for you! It might take a few months, but there's definitely nothing bad about someone expressing interest in your work. But Phaeal is correct--don't let it distract you. Get back to work on something else. Now. This very instant.

Three months is, in fact, somewhat on the optimistic side. But it is a point at which it's sensible to inquire, if you haven't heard anything.
