I'm not 100% happy with how things are going with my agent. She has 3 of my novels. Two she is representing and my current one I sent her three weeks ago, with no word on whether or not she wants to represent that one too.
So far we have 4 pending submissions (on only one of the novels) that's been 2 months now. The other one she keeps telling me she'll pitch, but hasn't yet. I signed with her about 3 months ago and I know our relationship is just starting, but I feel like she should be a little more proactive in my work.
Don't you think it would be a good time to send more submissions out? Or at least nudge the others? Or keep nudging? And with my latest novel, since I'm her client, shouldn't she have gotten to it by now? I mean, it's another one she could be throwing out there.
So far her strategy is pitching the one and mentioning I have more work. Should she be trying to pitch them seperately and still mention the others?
And I feel like I keep bugging her when I email. Usually she doesn't get back to me right away either. Sometimes it's two weeks that goes by, which I don't care for.
I just think she should be a little more aggressive about my work and it doesn't feel that way. Oh, and I've never actually spoken to her on the phone, yet she always invites me to call her if I need anything. Yet she has never initiated calling me either.
My former agent before this, I at least talked to her over the phone when we first started out. Just wondering if anyone is dealing with an agent that they haven't actually spoken to over the phone yet.
