Hi, everyone.
I recently signed with an agency and then got a couple of requests for my manuscripts from other agencies...with good reputations.
I have since read mixed reviews of the agency I signed with... The agency is listed with the AAR, does have a track record of sales, etc., etc... Although I saw some vague negative references here on AbsoluteWrite, I contacted a current client of the agency, who is a published author, and she said that the agents are great to work with and honest.
I'm worried that if my work is "shopped" around by a substandard agency, it will never be picked up by another if I end my contract.
So, how long should I give an agency before I begin looking for another? Of course, if I knew for sure that the agency is great, I wouldn't mind waiting...
Any insight would be appreciated!
