Hi, all. I had an agent tell me mid-December that she wanted to talk on the phone about my manuscript and future projects. She set it up to talk to me on Dec. 28, around noon.
Time rolls by, and she never calls.
I send two emails to her between then and now, and still no response.
So, my dilemma - do I call the agency and see if she's even still employed there? This agency is notorious for high turnover, so I wouldn't be too surprised...but if that happened, I'm guessing I'd be dead in the water, anyway (since I'm presuming no one else may want to rep it). And ask for her to call me back?
Do I try yet again to send an email?
Do I let it go and move on?
I ask because it's a decent agency making sales, and I believe the head of the agency is the guy making the sales...she's kind of an associate under him, perhaps training or something.
Anyway, this stinks, and it's eating up my thoughts. I hate to let a lead go if it can be salvaged. Then again, I don't think I want to deal with someone who wouldn't even bother to contact me.
But on the other hand, what if something happened to her, and she couldn't contact me? Is it reasonable to call an agency if they promised to call you, but didn't for some reason?
AAAAAH! Okay, this is making me neutoric. *deep breaths*.
Thanks. I'm going to go plunge my head in the sink at work. LOL.
