Hi everyone,
I currently have a book proposal in the hands of a prominent agent for a memoir I wrote. In the meantime, I have written a children's picture book geared towards 4-6 year old children. I am now beginning the search for an agent.
My question is whether or not I should submit it to the agent who has my proposal for the entirely different project. I would prefer to, as I would rather only have one agent (if I am so lucky for him to take me on). However, it doesn't say he does children's books on agentquery.com. Contrarily to that, I've read that he doesn't stick to any specific genres but takes on whatever he likes in the moment.
Would it appear somewhat aloof to submit a dramatic medical memoir and a cutesy children's book? If he decided to represent me for the memoir, would he be offended I didn't give him first shot at my other work?
Thanks for your help,
Dr. Musgrave
