Today's post:
THE PLAGUE OF NON-RESONDERS
tri
Excellent blog post, Tri! I certainly concur.
In my years of off-and-on querying, I've seen this trend (the non-responding) just escalate to ridiculous proportions. Now, it's the norm rather than the exception.
So far, in my last batch of querying 60 agents, I've had about a 65% non-response rate. In fact, it's gotten to the point that if I don't get a response from an agent within 48 hours, I mentally mark them off my list as a rejection (and so far, it's been very accurate - any partial/full requests have all happened within 2 days of a query).
Times, they are a'changin'. And not always for the better....
