I thought that I would compile a list of non-responsive agents and publishers who haven't answered email/snailmail queries for over 85 days. I don't do followups on these types and put them in my backfile. For whatever the reason they have not peeped back. Many of them were solictied with a prior book with the same results--nada. You might see some familiar faces here, then again, you might have gotten answers from some of those listed.
(These are Novel queries)

Peter Rubie Lit Agency STD

Tyrannosaurus Press (I think Katrina got this one)
Richard Curtis Assoc. (this is heartbreaking since he's my old agent)
This is kind of a disturbing trend that we have been discussing on the boards recently. I'm not saying these are bad or discourteous agents. I simply cannot touch bases with them for whatever reason. Perhaps their websites are too old and they have gone the way of the dodo. I DO NOT have a current Writers Market--therein might be some of the problem.
Here's the real kicker--One third of these agents responed to my non-fiction book query six months ago! Are we in the midst of an industry fiction glut?
