The Call or the Email?

It was an e-mail informing me of a call that would be coming the next day.

Email first, then we set up a time to talk on the phone.

Email, and an invitation to call him if I wanted to discuss things further. I did, partly because it's quicker to cover a bunch of topics and partly to make the personal connection.

E-mail to say 'let's talk'

Ditto everyone else. Got an email saying "Hey, when is good for a call?"

First agent was by phone, of course, since even the desktop computer was a year in the future.

Email, and then a phone call.

Mine actually was a phone call, or more accurately a voicemail, from the first offering agent. I contacted all the agents with material to let them know about the offer (via email, except for one who had corresponded via mail so I found her telephone number and phoned her), and the second offering agent offered via phone as well a few days later. But I have heard of some who have received news of the offer via email, then the official offer came via phone.

I received an email asking if I had time to talk, and a call later that day.

My first offer was in person at a conference. My second was a phone call, no advance warning. The third emailed first, asking if he could give me a call.

I got the call first, which went to voicemail. He left me a brief "Let's talk." Of course, not being a morning person, I gravitated to my computer before the phone, and I had an email from him saying he'd missed me but he'd try calling again later.

First offer was via email, but we'd already spoken on the phone once before (after he read about half the manuscript), second came via a scheduled phone call, third sent an email setting up a time to talk, but after the date/time was set, he sent a separate email formally offering rep, fourth offer was via email.

A call out of the blue, three days after I sent her the manuscript. I was speechless for a full five seconds.

A call, out of the blue. I thought I was dreaming when I looked at my call display.

An e-mail asking if we could call to chat about my book. The call was the next day, so thankfully I didn't have to wait long
