I sent mine in late October, so really not that long ago. I've started working on some new things as well, so I guess we just have to wait and see. Not hearing anything since May seems a little strange, however. Have you sent her a nudge?
Hello folks,
I thought I'd finally register after lurking every so often for a long time.
Christine is my agent, and a lucky man I am. She is an absolute dynamo, a workaholic, and a plain-speaking straight shooter. Some folks noted her sales record last year, for which she was one of 30 agents nominated for Agent of the Year.
More importantly, she's one agent who is on top of the changes taking place in the publishing industry, especially the digital revolution and the genuine options that self-publishing represents for many aspiring novelists. She's a real team player.
Funny, sounds like I'm talking about my wife. Heh.
Thank you for the information on Christine. I met her through Pitch University. I was impressed by her kindness and sincerity. She has a full of mine since only Feb, but I've got my fingers crossed.
Oh my goodness. She is big, big, big. Over 30 books coming out in 2013 per her website. She is a top romance agent, and I would kill to have her represent me. Unfortunately she is closed to unsolicited submissions and I believe she has been for quite some time. Publishers Marketplace has more info:

Good luck if you get a request from her!
In other words, were you only referring to how quickly they're sending rejections and requests for partials / fulls to the initial query letter? Or instead, how long they take to reply to partials and fulls they requested (the latter being my situation-- they replied very quickly to ask me for the full).
