Anyone still waiting to hear back on manuscript requests from Brendan Deneen?
Like several other writers on this website, I'm also waiting to hear back about the MS which I sent to Brendan Deneen. It's now been several months since I sent him the full. It's hard when you don't know exactly what's going on, that is, if the MS really is in the hands of another agent at FP in their pile of unread manuscripts, waiting to be read; if it's under consideration, but just taking longer than expected to be decided upon or, if it has been deleted unread, and, in that case a rejection letter may never arrive, giving some closure.
It's a bit of a Catch-22 situation in some ways for the following reasons, as one's in a bit of a quandary as to how to approach the situation -
(1) do you contact another one of the agents at FP about the MS, as if you're starting from scratch,
(2) do you contact the agent you think most likely has it, who may have the MS under consideration, ask them if they have it and, possibly, alienate them in the process, which may make them reject you faster than if you said nothing
or
(3) do you just wait until you hear news of some sort back?
Although I'm working on another book, this is preying on my mind as it's the only full (or partial) that I have out at the moment.
