 @21149f3e @a3976b27 Oh wow, I'm so sorry. You have all my sympathy. There could be lots of reasons why, but I can understand the hurt. I know I'd struggle. 🤗 

Please keep in mind, though, that it's all subjective. For all we know, the agent had a death in the family the day they started your book, or were in a car accident. That's the quagmire that is publishing. Don't let it stop you! 🤨

 @7b682b86 Yeah, ghosting is awful, and TBH it left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't query him, or the agency, this time around.

I'm fine now, but I definitely went through dozens of emotions as I processed what it meant. Like I said, a rollercoaster.

I can only guess why he didn't reply, but like @a3976b27 said, he requested it initially (within a day of querying, in fact). I assume there was something he liked, but what that was, I'll never know.

 @21149f3e @a3976b27 You shouldn't consider him again. His unprofessional behavior has broken a trust, which wouldn't bode well for any future business relationship. 🤨
