Me too. I sent off requested proposal this morning.
Good luck!
Me too. I sent off requested proposal this morning.
Sent a status query to Nat Jacks last night (he requested partial, which was sent 5/21). He replied this morning with the following:
"After reading, my initial reaction was that it's probably not right for me. But I'd like to get a second opinion. Will let you know."
<sigh>
Here's hoping whatever associate he shows it to LOVES the premise and the writing.
Sending a query to Catherine right now.
Catherine Drayton read my partial pages and wants a full! I'm so excited. I've had other full requests, but they came straight from the query. This is the first time an agent has requested a partial then asked to see more. It's a great feeling. Here's the timeline so far:
Query - Jul 29
Partial Request - Aug 5
Full Request - Aug 8

Rebelcheese, if you don't already know about QueryTracker and Agent Query, these are great sources of info. Looking up Ms. Drayton on Agent Query, it says under her submission guidelines that she wants to see only the query, so that's what you should send.
Don't rely only on the agent's profiles on their website, do some Googling and find interviews with them all across the web. In this way, you can find more specific likes and dislikes.
she's fast, but it took me 6 or 7 days to get a response (which was a request) earlier this month.
