Well, I resent (explaining that there had been a glitch in my e-mail provider,which is true) and apologized sincerely if it was already in her inbox and......still nothing. Why is it my friend is getting lightning quick responses, and I get zilch?? Not just from Laura Langlie, but from EVERYONE.
Does anyone know if she likes YA science fiction/fantasy?

Ms. Langlie is very quick!
I queried last week and within minutes got her request to see the full. Now, I'll just sit back (after I turn a couple cartwheels!) and patiently wait to hear : )
Congrats, Suzan! She is very quick. I queried her 5/20, heard back with a full request within 6 minutes. Sent the full on 5/23 and heard back (a rejection) on 5/25. She said she truly admired and was attracted to the premise but wasn't completely engaged by the manuscript.
I querried her in October. She asked for a full about three minutes later. About a month later (mid-Nov.) she emailed to tell me that she liked it and had passed it on to an editor/reader who works with her. Then in Feb. I recieved a printed version of the manuscript (I had emailed it) along with a note from her, a nine-page letter from the reader/editor, and suggestions written throughout the manuscript itself. She stated that she could not offer rep until she saw what I did with the suggestions. I, of course, did everything they suggested (hopefully well) and sent it back to her sometime around May (a couple of the changes required some rewriting that took a little time). I am now waiting to hear back from her--same position you're in, Dear Author . . . fingers crossed. Not sure if that helps, but I have had a fairly positive experience after waiting for about four months.
And to Dear Author: I think we can assume that this is an agency that spends a great deal of time working on a manuscript before pitching it. So I think the time, as much as it's torture to you now, might really pay off down the road (at least, I hope, selfishly, for both of us). If I were you, I would keep throwing it out to other agents until I heard something from her (unless, of course, she mentioned an exclusive look), and hope that she is currently working on your ms like she did mine. I'll keep sending positive vibes your way.
