Has anyone had a book published / dealt with an agent?

I've written 'a thing' and sent off to various agents etc as one does. 2 months later one comes back with 'thanks for the query letter and synopsis - please send a more detailed synopsis and 3 sample chapters'. Which I did. When should I hear back do you think?

Oh dear! How long have you been waiting?? Did they ask you for a bit more and then go quiet?

So frustrating isn't it?? I just want to KNOW.

I'd love to know what yours is about but I know you can't tell me or you'd have to kill me kind of thing. Have you published before?

Oh god knows, is the answer I'd give - whenever they bloody want. Sorry, just feeling very snippy as I'm in the same position, though not with a children's book. Basically they will read it in their own sweet time. They may respond. They may not. They will certainly not like being prompted.

Can you guess I'm fed up??

Best of luck - I hope they love it.
