@DanahAALLL I’ve nudged a few times after the three month mark and always received very nice replies!

[L.V. Oaks is querying ✨ @lvoaks]

@DorianMaffei Awesome! No problem! 😊

[L.V. Oaks is querying ✨ @lvoaks]

@DorianMaffei Commercial and Speculative!

Querying is basically an ongoing chant of “don’t cry don’t cry don’t cry” 🤠 #amquerying

People, you really need to stop posting screenshots of agents’ replies, even if they’re form rejections, and especially if their names are visible 🫠

@ChristineNanfra I got a rejection on a full after two days, and I waited for a reply on another for eight months! Unfortunately this really is a waiting game and you never know when you’re going to find a surprise in your inbox hahah

[L.V. Oaks is querying ✨ @lvoaks]

@Author15se Yes! That way you know before you even open it 😂

[L.V. Oaks is querying ✨ @lvoaks]

@maddieronn I did! Feel free to dm me 🫶

[L.V. Oaks is querying ✨ @lvoaks]

@brantleywrites Amazing!!!! 🤍

[L.V. Oaks is querying ✨ @lvoaks]

I am once again begging literary agents to please set up some kind of automatic reply to confirm receipt so that authors don’t spiral thinking their emails got swallowed by the internet. 🥹

@mstiefvater Calvino mentioned I CHEERED ❤️ I’d recommend Cesare Pavese and Natalia Ginzburg!

@joannenwrites every time I get a rejection I sent two more lmao it’s a curse 😂

[Maggie Stiefvater Updates @mstiefvater]

I'm not saying: destroy data centers! but I am saying, in 2018, I was already annoyed by continuous low humming noises.

[L.V. Oaks is querying ✨ @lvoaks]

Got a rejection on a full from a dream agent at 2 AM and didn’t shed a single tear! In my ✨character development ✨ era 😎

(Don’t get me wrong I’m definitely a little sad, but last year me would be absolutely distraught, so I’ll take it haha)
