A editor requested my full mss based on a query and partial, but didn't acknowledge receipt of my full (sent 4/2/14). Is this normal, or should I touch based to verify that it was received? Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it. You are still sending queries out for it, aren't you?

If you've heard nothing after three months or so, nudge the agent. Gently. If you hear nothing after that, you could nudge again a month later but after that, I'd assume it was a no and move on.

I have fulls with two other publishers right now, so I've put queries on hold. The other two acknowledged receipt, so it worried me when the third (who happens to be my top choice) did not. But I will give them some time before nudging. Thanks!

I wouldn't stop querying until I accepted an offer of representation.
