I am waiting to hear back from several agents on my middle grade fantasy novel, Khaladin. But I've never gotten asked to send a full mss. on anything, so my question is this. Say an agent wants a full. Do I send it with my original query and "Here it is. Hope you enjoy it" or do I do that and add a time limit? I have heard several stories where agents have had stories for longer than six months, making the poor author wait in agonizing silence. Is putting a three to six month time limit on my manuscript OK? I just don't want to be waiting for a year for an agent to get back to me. I understand that I am not the only one they are looking at, but neither are they the only agency that I'm looking at.
An answer to this question would be most appreciated. Like I said, I'm in no serious need of the information right now, but I like to be prepared!
Again, thanks all!
