Agent Rant

A peeve: agents who don't answer email queries. Not only is it annoying, it's rude. I understand that an agent's time is limited and a detailed explanation for rejecting a manuscript may not be feasible. But the least an agent (or, more likely, an assistant) could do is hit the reply button, type "no" and hit send. It's not hard--I do it all the time.

Thanks for listening. Or reading, as it were.
