An agent on Twitter extended a private invitation to me to send to her directly, skipping the agency slushpile and I was given an email address generally reserved for her clients.I wasn't prepared for such an invitation and didn't have story ready for her.
Unfortunately, within a very short time of receiving this invitation, a family member was moved to hospice care and writing business stopped in favor of focusing on him. Time slipped by without my having an opportunity to take this agent up on her offer. It's been just short of a year.
This is a legitimate agent with a good reputation...my dream agent, in fact. I am also friends with several of her clients and they all speak highly of her.
My question is fairly simple: Am I too late? Should I consider this a lost opportunity or is it acceptable to prepare the query and send to the private address with a reminder of the invitation?
Thanks.
