Hello. I have an issue that I hope the rest of you can provide some input on.
I signed with a literary agent earlier this year for our graphic novel project. Out of professional courtesy, I will not name him here. About three months ago, I sent him a bunch of materials (preview copies, etc.) to help him in pitch the properties to publishers. In the last month, I have emailed him several times asking him if there was any update that I could pass along to my team, never receiving any update on his progress.
I did receive a couple of responses; once when I let him know that I was being interviewed for an upcoming issue of WIRED magazine, and a very negative note when I sent him a Twitter message asking if he was getting my emails.
I am very respectful of a person's time, especially if that person is out there trying to make me money. So I don't expect immediate responses to my emails. But this agent spends a lot of time on Twitter, so I find it very hard to believe that he is too busy to just send me a quick note about news (positive, negative, or lack thereof) that he may have.
So, should I just give up and start my search for another agent? Or am I being too demanding? All feedback is welcome. Thanks!
