[PubQ] Meeting an agent at a con who has my full?
Hi! Throwaway account because I feel embarrassed and nervous about this one....
An agent has had my full for a few months (seems to be their average timeline), and I recently got a chance to say hi to them in person when they guested at a writing conference I was attending. I introduced myself, explained they had my full MS, and they were super kind, receptive and acknowledged it was in their queue.
The same agent is guesting at another conference I am attending in a few weeks. My question is: Would it be weird and unprofessional to schedule a pitch with them? It's common enough knowledge that you don't necessarily need to pitch a project to an agent during these conferences; if you just want to sit down, ask one-on-one questions, etc., that's perfectly normal.
But would it be weird for me to do this with them? It's not so much me trying to "IRL nudge" them as it is just genuinely wanting to speak with them, discuss their agency and, of course, why I want to work together.
Thoughts?
