Emailing manuscript etiquette

Hi All,

So, I got a request for my full manuscript from an amazing well-known agent. They asked me to email it to them. I did. They couldn't open the document and asked me to send it them in another format. I did.

Now they didn't respond that they had received it, and so I sent a follow-up email (a week later) making sure they had gotten the manuscript in the new format. It's been a month, and I'm still unsure of whether they received it or not.

Should I follow up again or just assume that they have it? I'm just worried that my book got lost in Internet limbo.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

too aggressive?

Hi Will,

Thanks for the response! I've always heard that agents are irritated by phone calls. I don't want them to see me as a pesky author. Is there anyway to call and not sound that way? I want to call, but (gulp) and worried.

Thanks!

Thanks all for the respond. I called and left a message with their assistant, so we'll see if I hear anything back. I hope I do!

Thanks again,

Nancy
