We writers are not always a patient breed, but I think most of us do understand that the long wait times are not for lack of hard work on your part!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-58725620258665164472007-08-02T19:26:00.000-04:002007-08-02T19:26:00.000-04:00This is great information.

I suspect this is yet another repercussion from publishers closing their doors to unsolicited manuscripts, though as we are still one of the companies that accepts unsolicited and we're getting more of those, too, we have a double whammy these days.<BR/><BR/>I find that there are also more manuscripts submitted that turn into a bidding war within hours, so of course those cut in line ahead of all the other agented things. <BR/><BR/>I will always tell an agent if I like something and am taking it to the next level, so in my case, at least, a long silence means that I have not had a chance to read it. <BR/><BR/>When I have some reading time and am choosing which submission to look at next, I usually pick up the manuscript that I've had the longest. But sometimes I'll give precedence to a manuscript if I've worked with the author before, or if I'm very intrigued by the premise, or if an agent I have worked with a lot and trust is especially excited about something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-74024748127159441922007-08-02T14:14:00.000-04:002007-08-02T14:14:00.000-04:00are you more likely to get back to the agent quick...are you more likely to get back to the agent quicker if this is the second book by an author you've already published? or does it just not matter, when you've got a towering pile of papers beside you and not enough time?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-54130541068889766412007-08-02T12:39:00.000-04:002007-08-02T12:39:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-54108513333069737382007-08-02T12:29:00.000-04:002007-08-02T12:29:00.000-04:00I'm also reeling from agented response times, and ...I'm also reeling from agented response times, and I AM repped by one of those three agencies you named. <BR/><BR/>EA...when an agent nudges, and I know mine does, what is the typical response from an editor? Do you give very little detail and just say it's still under review or give specifics? <BR/><BR/>I keep hoping the long response times are because the ms is making it to the next level, but I'm afraid that hasn't been the case...yet.

Not just from my experience, but from others that I hear of. I wonder if it's because there are more and more children/teen authors who are agented than say, five years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-33863886931342489822007-08-02T11:26:00.000-04:002007-08-02T11:26:00.000-04:00I've gotten more useful rejection comments and fas...I've gotten more useful rejection comments and faster responses since I've had an agent--sometimes.
