I signed with an agent a little over three months ago. At that time, my agent seemed very excited about my book. She said she wanted to read it over again and get back to me with suggestions for revision; she said it would take about two weeks.
About seven weeks later, she wrote to apologize for the delay, and she said she'd start working on those revision suggestions the coming weekend.
It's been another six weeks.
I like this agent. I respect her. I respect her other clients. I have no interest in saying or doing anything that could harm the professional relationship.
But my book's publication is stalled until she gets back to me with those notes. There's just a zero percent chance of a book contract until she starts shopping it around. I'd like to find a way to say hey, let's get started! I'm eager to hear what you have to say.
If I send her an email, how do you think I should phrase it? Should I just send her an update about what I've been working on, the current novel, the website, etc., and not mention the revision notes? Or should I not send an email and just continue waiting?
What would you suggest?
