People who say they got signed with an agent in 2 weeks are generally full of shit. Sorry, they obviously say that to annoy people who are still out there fighting to get the sale or hired position, and to fluff their social status in the writing community. And frankly it becomes obvious when you read their stuff or see the show made from their script or whatever. I imagine someone went out there the first time and had agents fighting over their work *coughIsaacAsimovcough* but that's a very miraculous thing.
From query to four offers of representation and signing with my agent? 12 days.
It happens all the time. It can also take 12 months. It can also take 12 weeks.
There's no norm to this process and absolutely no way to compare your road to anyone else's.
