I have been repped by the same Agency for a year. It is a multi-agent agency and my agent is one of the newer agents. I had a lot of good feedback on the book from other agents that I initially queried, but when my current agent offered representation, she seemed to really love my writing and impressed me as a capable advocate for my work, so I signed with her. However, she is incredibly hard to connect with and even a bit flaky. Over the last year, she has never given me any info on publishers she has submitted my book to or whether there has been feedback. She also makes phone appts with me and then either doesn't follow-through at all or follows through hours later. It has been months since I've heard from her. There's more than this, of course, but I won't list it out. The point is, when does an author know it's time to part ways with their agent? And if you have concerns how can you even address them with your agent when you cannot get in contact with them?
Has anyone here ever been in the same boat? I would really appreciate your advice. I hate to leave an agent and start querying again, however I have a very uneasy feeling about my current situation.
