Friday the thirteenth. Shouldn't the agents be clearing out their inboxes, spreading doom and gloom everywhere they go?
Now I wish I'd watched that gameIt's Friday the 13th and the Canucks are playing.
Crap.

I understand they're busy with conventions and actual paying clients and all, but don't they realise they've got *my* genius manuscript in their hot little hands?

ah, the old days.

silence.
bloody silence.
worse that any hex.
even a scathing dismissive slash of abuse would be nice.Agreed. Many, many moons ago is what highly unusual for a publisher to fail to answer/comment on a submission. I mean it was REALLY rare. Of course, much of it then was snail mail. But even in the early days of the net, they were all pretty damn good about responding, especially the agents.

I've just sent off a bunch of queries (3 about three wks ago, 6 a few days ago) and I got my first reply - and it was a rejection. A form rejection. And this was the agent who I'd read her wishlist and nearly died because it was like she was writing about my book. unhappy now...
