I hope this isn't a dumb question, but . . .
Back in late September, an agent requested a partial based on my query letter. I sent it, but no mention was made by either of us of how long a reply would take. I haven't heard from her, but am not anxious to get anyone's "quick answer" and realize she probably worked less during the holidays. I can wait, but now that the postal rates have increased, I'm wondering if I should contact her. Obviously the SASE I sent in Sept. is inadequate now, and I'm starting to wonder if she ever received my materials in the first place. (It was only one chapter, sent 3+months ago.)
I'd truly appreciate some feedback on this from someone who's worked with agents &/or is familiar with s.o.p. in this area. I don't want to appear impatient, but want to be sure she received my partial, and offer to send an updated SASE if that would be considered s.o.p.
Thanks a million!
