Here's the deal: in early March, I had an email from a small American publisher who said they were interested in publishing one of my books. Since then, I've been contacting agents in the UK and a few in the States. I've had a few of the standard 'not taking on anyone' replies, a few 'no fantasy for us', and some haven't replied at all. One (in London) requested the whole MS after reading the first three chapters which is of course very cool although I was privately hoping for a little more interest than I got.
The thing is, I'm now thinking how long I should wait before figuring agents aren't interested either because it's a small publisher or because they don't like my stuff - and how long I should wait before I get back to the publisher to see if they have any updated news for me.
Any thoughts?
