Hey everyone, I'd appreciate a lesson in etiquette for this scenario.
I had a full MS request from a really good agent today. This agent also requested a synopsis.
However, I was not expecting to hear from this agent for a week (while I went over the MS one more time for clarity) and crafted the synopsis. I literally received the request one hour after submitting the query. I did calculate the average response time on QT, and assumed I had a week before hearing anything.
Should I email this agent and explain the delay, or should I just send the MS and synopsis on Sunday, when they will be ready, without explanation?
Thanks for any tips. This agent is amazing and I don't want to come off as:
1. lazy
2. unprofessional
3. rude
