Thanks for letting us know, Parametric. I stalk agents on Twitter but I missed this one.
And I missed Parametric's post!

I have a question on follow-up protocol:
I sent requested material to Lauren Ruth on January 17. Their submission guidelines states their response time goal is 12 weeks to respond to RM. It has been 15 weeks.
However, I queried her on September 19 and she responded on January 16. Their query goals are 8 weeks.
How long should I wait before nudging? Based on the query response time, it may take a while still. I nudged on the query on November 22, but she responded to my original submission.
Thoughts? Have any of you had a similar experience?
Apparently Lauren Ruth left the agency. Does anyone know anything about that?
Yeah, I know they can just ignore it and I'm only out an email, so no skin off my back, but I'm still trying to follow their guidelines and getting confused. They do rep NF, or have in the past, but the agent profiles clearly state they only want specific kinds of fiction.
Has anyone dealt with Beth Campbell at Bookends? I received a partial request from her based on a query I had sent to Lauren Ruth, and a month later she bumped it up to a full.
It's been less than a month since I sent the full so I may have a while to wait, but I was just wondering if anyone else had any dealings with her. She's been lovely so far and BookEnds is one of my top choices so I am crossing everything!
Follow the profiles - always. Keep looking for an agent that reps your kind of book.
Good luck!
Does anyone know if Beth Campbell is accepting queries? I can't quite figure it out based on their site.

Realised recently there are a few typos in the revised version I sent. They are toward the end, so hopefully by the time she gets to them she'll already be 'sold' and they won't matter!
