Q:2/06/26
Tasneem replied 3/25/26 wanting to schedule a call and discuss representation. She cancelled a few hours before our call due to a migraine (which was understandable) and asked to reschedule the following week. I sent her a few dates/times per her request and she never got back to me. I finally withdrew after almost a month of not hearing back. I totally get agents are human and get busy, but it was starting to feel unprofessional.

Read their online profile and filled out the whole form only to be told as I submitted that they do not accept previously published works. A shame as they felt like a wonderful fit!
