So, I currently have two agents considering partial requests, and two agents considering full requests. I’m wondering how long I should reasonably expect to wait before hearing back from one of them.

One of the agents considering a full request is from a large agency. He responded to my query within two hours, and has had my work for just over three weeks.

The other three agents are from small/independent agencies. All responded to my query within a matter of days. I sent out those requests more recently, the longest one has had my work for just over a week.

I know it’s still early, but I’m antsy. This is my first time ANY agent has requested to see more of my work after the initial sample pages.

The generally-accepted nudge timeframe is three months. Which I know seems like an eternity! But they're working for their current clients as well, and that stuff has to take precedence. When you're a client, you'll feel better about it. :)
