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

[TelephoneTree]

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?

Thank you for your answers - very helpful being able to just ask someone who knows!

Brilliant stuff! Am always so impressed with people who write etc, as if working in publishing has taught me me thing, it's that I don't have a book in me - it's hard!

Good luck with it all. Hope it goes well!
