How well is your agent relationship? How well do you both correspond with each other?
I had an agent before but we parted ways since it didn't work out. I think she pitched it to about 6 places and that was it. I could tell after a while she wasn't interested, but we at least corresponded every two weeks or so.
Anyways, I wrote another novel and was able to connect with another agent, now she has two of my novels. In the meantime, I worked on another and have a rough draft and am going through revisions.
She asked to see it as she's been pitching the other ones. But hasn't gotten back to me yet on it.
Here's the thing. Sometimes she responds quick and sometimes it's weeks. Usually it doesn't go beyond two weeks. But now I've emailed her like three times in these two weeks and I still haven't heard from her. I don't want to keep emailing her. Nor do I want to call. I think if worse comes to worse, I will have to. But my question is to the people that have agents, how well do you correspond? Do you talk once a week? Every few weeks?
I just signed with her two months ago and she's only had my novels on submission for about a month now. Like I said, I talked to her two weeks ago and would hate to keep bothering her. I've been writing my brains out and will have 3 novels still waiting to connect with a publisher. I just hate having to think I would have to start all over again from scratch having to look for an yet another agent again if this doesn't work out.
What are the signs you know you're getting the blow off?
