The Waiting Game
When the book is finished, the waiting starts. I’ve mentioned before that I’m impatient, which is true, but I can imagine myself on the other side of an agent’s desk, wading through the sea of queries that are only part of the day’s work. I appreciate that there’s only so much a person can do at a time.
The agent I queried today does not reply to all queries. No response after 6-8 weeks means it’s time to move on. If that’s how things roll, that’s okay. I want to find the agent who has an emotional reaction to the book. And that will happen, in time, I have no doubt.
Okay, I have a little doubt.
Or maybe a lot.
