Adrienne has a full of mine (requested after reading the partial). However, initial correspondence was with her assistant (also lovely).
They seem like a great bunch of people so good luck to everyone!

Sorry to hear that, Alisha. She has my partial as well. So she took about 2 months to get back to you?

Good luck to you on other subs!

Hi, I queried Adrienne in mid-October. I cannot find the answer to this question on their site. Is PMA a "no response means no thanks" agency? Or should I re-query? Thanks.

It's been my experience that they usually respond one way or another. However, with the way the marketplace has changed in the last year who knows? That might be different now too.

I queried her a few months ago and got no response.

I queried PMA back in October as well. No response. I have since reworked my query, a lot, and was wondering how long I should wait before resending, or if I even should. Thoughts?

I had queried Adrienne Rosado on 12/2/10 and didn't get a response, but I have in my notes that PMA is a no response = no after three weeks. I'll try and find out where I got that information from.

Their website said they take 4-6 weeks on a query: http://www.pmalitfilm.com/the-review-process

I can't find confirmation on the no response = no, but she's on twitter at LitEpiphany. I'm firewalled at work from twitter, but if someone else wants to check her feed and see if she says anything about queries that would be helpful. If I remember, I'll do it from home tonight.

Heck, I might resend . . .

I queried them five months ago and had closed them out as no response but just received a request for a partial today. I've notified the other agent who has my manuscript, hopefully good things start happening!

Awesome! Good luck!

Thanks for posting your stats. Maybe I'll hear back on my query now.

That was fast. They received my submission package this morning. By 1 pm Pacific time I had a request for the full. Trying not to hyperventilate. I've gotten this far before with other agents but this feels like a big deal.

This is great news, evol_reed! The best of luck to you. Asking for a full off a partial, and so quickly, is an excellent sign.

Evol Reed-

I am curious how you sent your partial. Snail mail or e-mail? I received a partial request from a "submissions assistant" after I had already figured they were a "no." Response time for the query was almost three months. My partial will be sent by snail mail as that is what she requested.

Good luck with the full!

clorenz - They requested my partial be sent via snail mail. With the full I was able to submit via email. They responded to the snail mail partial almost immediately upon receipt, but it took them nearly five months to respond to the original query.

Evol reed-

Thanks for the quick response. This whole process is so bizarre. I have several partials still out with other agents, but at this point, I never expected to hear back from them. But then when I got a partial request from a query sent over three months ago, it makes you wonder if they really are just so crazy busy that it really takes that long. I guess patience and persistence are imperative. Good luck on that full. Wishing you success!

which address?

For those who've sent material to PMA via snail mail, which address did you use? There are two addresses given on their website... a street address and a P.O. Box that it says is used for packages. I need to send them a partial MS, and I don't know if that qualifies as a "package" or not. I've emailed them to find out for sure, but in the meantime I thought I'd see if anyone here had any idea!

I'm not sure - I always used email, both for the query, and for the sub. The agent gave me instructions to either mail the sub, or email it, which was preferred. No address was given for the option to mail. If you're sending a sub that qualifies as an envelope (30-40 pages), I'd send it to the street address.
