I think it was an interesting fact pattern -- how odd for an agented author to CALL up another agent to ask for advice! I wonder if Diana is right on that... maybe she was looking for a new agent.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think 3 weeks is a long time to wait for a status update. But I also think that sometimes agents and authors don't communicate enough -- I see all the time authors who are too afraid to say anything to their agents. And so the author has all these expectations the agent knows nothing about, which isn't really fair (for either party).<BR/><BR/>It's just like every other relationship (business or personal): you gotta talk!Carrie Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751498516235657725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-871790167026663892007-10-03T13:17:00.000-04:002007-10-03T13:17:00.000-04:00Diana is right--That was a weird thread. My agent...Diana is right--That was a weird thread. <BR/><BR/>My agent is great--super responsive. But I have a friend repped by someone else who goes weeks without a response and is ready to pull her hair out. I guess the author/agent relationship is like any other--it all depends on the personalities of the people involved, and not every match is a love connection.Trish Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038324441006141430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21790035.post-11509995080614074792007-10-01T21:08:00.000-04:002007-10-01T21:08:00.000-04:00I think people were full of BS in that comment thr...I think people were full of BS in that comment thread. And I think the author was being REALLY weird for writing ANOTHER agent to ask her why she didn't hear from HER agent. I think that's an excuse. My guess? She wants to fire her agent and hire Kristin and is feeling that out. <BR/><BR/>When I don't hear from my agent, I talk to MY agent about it.Diana Peterfreundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681841474717604660noreply@blogger.com
