All right. So I sent a query to Agent #1. Within a few hours, I recieved an email from Agent #2 at the same agency, saying that 1 had forwarded my query to her because she represents YA and he doesn't (um, oops) and she would like to see a synopsis and the first hundred pages.
After much stressing about the synopsis that a bunch of you witnessed, I sent the partial/synopsis to Agent 2 and started to pray.
Today, a week after I sent the partial, I recieved this email, with just "query" in the subject line.
It said:
We deeply regret that the demands on our time are such that we are unable to represent your project.
We wish you every success.
Best regards,
Assistant to Agent #1
Okay. Color me confused.
Is this a rejection for my partial? If so, why did this come from Agent #1's assistant, instead of from Agent #2 or her assistant? Since this is a form and doesn't mention the name of the ms, I'm even considering that I might have queried Agent #1 for a different ms and forgotten to record it. Or maybe 1 forgot to delete the email after he sent it to 2, and his assistant was going through his email systematically, saw that my query was for a YA project, and sent the form rejection.
Or maybe this is a rejection for my partial.
So...should I email Agent 2 and ask what's up? I don't want to appear like I'm nagging her, because it's only been a week since I sent the partial. But I don't really like not knowing what's going on.
What do you guys think?
