Hi, I met an agent just over a week ago and he requested the whole manuscript, which I sent to him, following all the guidelines that he emailed me.
I was wondering how long it might take for him to get back to me, and what I'm more likely to get as response: rejection or good news?
Due to some unusual circumstances I met him before I sent in any sample chapters, but I somehow managed to pitch the book in person and he seemed really interested and we began some communication, which led to him asking for the whole thing, by email, when his agency is post submissions only.
Are these good developments or am I only getting my hopes up for no reason? I've never had an legitimate agent express such interest as he did, but I don't want to email and annoy him with questions on when I'll find out if he liked my novel.
Thanks. (the stress is kind of freaking me out at this point.) :)
My opinion would be to take things slowly and warily.
