  How long should I wait to email the agent?  sarah3891 at 11:04 on 15 September 2008
 

Hi guys,

I had an email request from an agent at the end of June for my full MS - I was away at the time, but responded as soon as I returned from holiday a few weeks later (when I finally got to check my emails!) and sent the MS off the same day.

I haven't heard back from the agent as yet, and am wondering what's an acceptable amount of time before I follow up with her???

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Sarah

I would give her another month in which to read it, but it is worth emailing her to check that she has recieved it directly, and that it is not currently languishing in the slush pile.
