I submitted part of my novel to a literary agent a while ago, and haven't heard anything in about five weeks.
I know they're probably just really busy (and secretly hoping it means it's getting properly looked at), and they don't seem the type to not reply at all, but I really do need to hear something so I can start sending it out to others (I would do it already, but this is my absolute favourite so I want to give it a try first before I go onto the rest of my list).
My dad reckons I should email them just to make sure they got what I sent them and ask how long it's taking for them to give a reply at the moment, but I don't know how!!!
Emails are such tricky things, especially if they're kind of formal.
I need a polite, gentle way of emailing them without sounding pushy. I don't want to come across as all demanding like I'm going 'why haven't you responded to me yet? ' I honestly just want to hear something, even if it's just a standard rejection letter.
So any ideas of how to word this email?
