This morning I received a very nice, detailed rejection from one agent. A lot of her suggestions are great and I plan on implementing them. A couple hours after my rejection, I got a request for a full from agent number two.

My question is--I *really* want to make the changes suggested by agent number one. Would it be a bad idea to tell that to agent number two? To send a short email saying, for example, that after receiving revision suggestions from another agent, I'd like a week to revise and then will send the manuscript? Or should I not mention the other agent at all?

Would it be better to just send the original manuscript that she read pages from?

Thanks for any and all thoughts. :)

imho--revise if you want, but take no more than a week, week and a half to send the manuscript to agent #2. no need to send a preliminary email. Make no mention of agent #1.

good luck!
