However, they don't respond by the seventh (or tenth) day. Is it appropriate to phone the agent who hasn't responded to confirm receipt of email?<br /><br />I ask this because I have a cp who accepted a contract, letting the others know and a week later, she received three more offers. It was as if they never received her note or they hadn't checked their email.<br /><br />Thank you!Martha Ramirezhttp://www.martzbookz.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597446736200108024.post-43387663083069274072012-02-25T19:26:05.253-08:002012-02-25T19:26:05.253-08:00How about the second nudge?

They confirmed receipt of my manuscript and I politely waited 9 weeks before sending a nudge email. <br /><br />The nudge email was quickly responded to, stating that they were still reading my manuscript and would let me know as soon as they made a decision. <br /><br />It has since been 4 weeks since the nudge response and it is somehow more difficult to wait without an expected date for their response. (It just seems ENDLESS!!) <br /><br />I've heard from several sources that I should now wait, at least, 3-6 months before sending a second nudge email. <br /><br />Thoughts? Helpful pieces of advice to keep me from losing my mind?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064691512221913128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597446736200108024.post-78079055651097682862012-02-25T08:03:29.488-08:002012-02-25T08:03:29.488-08:00I'm two weeks away from the 3 month mark for m...I'm two weeks away from the 3 month mark for my requested partial and I'm contemplating sending an email.

It's KILLING me. But the fear is also there - that a 'nudge' will turn a 'maybe' into a 'no' I don't really believe that - though I've read posts that say this can happen. But a nudge can bring an answer you don't want to hear. Is knowing better than not knowing?

It has been 3 months already but I know the agent is swamped and way behind on queries and requested material, so I'm thinking about giving her another month before nudging. <br /><br />Thanks for this ;)Julianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944046747058158040noreply@blogger.com
