Jessica,
Thank you for you always giving it straight. I’m one of those that are afraid to send the “Checking-in” email. I’ve only done this a couple of times. I currently have six queries out there, two of which are full ms requests. All this is from beginning of May and June. So I’m not sure if I should just sit back and wait longer because its summer? Can you answer whether those of us on the other side should expect things to take longer during the summer?

Thank you Jessica for giving us ‘the real deal’. A very informative video.

We think it depends on each person. Here’s our philosophy on summer: https://bookendsliterary.com/2018/06/21/the-truth-about-publishings-summer-slowdown/ We do think if it’s been a respectable amount of time (as laid out on an agent’s website) you should be able to send that followup. Good luck!
