After four weeks, another agent requested a full. I went back to LMQ, Maria's agency, and asked if they were ok with me submiting elsewhere. They responded immediately and said I could submit elsewher. They also offered that my manuscript was 'still under review', explained they would have a decision 'in the coming weeks', and explicitly said "be assured you will hear as soon as we have a decision, either postive or negative". After several months, in August, I sent them a nudge and got ignored. After another month, I sent anothr nudge and got ignored. I assume they have rejected me. I am disappointed that they explicitly said in more than one email they would notify me and did not do so. I was naive and post this comment so other aspiring authors realize they cannot be so naive.
