hmm. . .I queried her on the 21st. Should I resend it?

I queried on 9/9 and still haven't heard anything, so I think you still have plenty of time to wait.

Diana just updated her blog.

It sounds like she's been very busy. So if you're waiting to hear back from her, just hang in there.

Good luck, Sage!

It's been ten months for me. Still waiting.

I've only been waiting for a month. . .Guess I'm in for a long wait. Goodluck!

I nudged her a bit over three months ago, so no, not recently. Yes, it's for a full.

I'm waiting on a full too. It's been almost 5 months, but no worries. She'll get around to all our fulls eventually. Last year, it took 9 months for me to hear back. She's just super busy.

Good luck!

I just queried and will settle in for the long wait.

Good luck, everyone!

thanks! good luck to you, too!

There's a revealing and info-packed interview with Diana on Realm Lovejoy's blog today. And Realm's sketch is just perfect.

I can't get over how much that illustration looks like her.

What a great interview. Diana gave me one of the nicest rejections I've ever received- a real class act. I'll definitely be querying her with a new novel that's more in her taste range.

A great interview. I just queried her today so I guess I'm in for a bit of a wait. I'll keep you updated.

Ditto.

I know Ms. Fox has been working hard to catch up with her submissions; anybody know where she is in her TBR pile now?

Assuming she reads her submissions in order, she's not past May yet.

I sent a query 1/4/10. Received a pleasant form rejection letter today, 1/7.

a couple of people on querytracker mentioned that they got quick responses in the last couple of days. But I certainly hope her not wanting to request any material in January doesn't mean that she's rejecting them all outright...I doubt she'd be that unprofessional though.

She might be putting aside queries she likes to request material after January. It's not that unusual to reject some and save others to consider later, especially if she's already working through a backlog.

When I queried her last summer I noticed she had rejected queries sent around the same time as mine a couple of weeks before she requested my full.

I queried Diana Fox back in late September and still haven't heard back. I've sent two follow-up emails as well. Still nothing. Not sure whether I should cross her off my list or not...

I queried Diana on 21/09/2009 and never heard anything back either. I think I'll wait until it's been six months and then resend it. Most agents I would nudge after it's been three months, but I know how busy Diana is so I think I will leave it a while longer.
