Now, this is purely hypothetical - I'd feel way too bad to actually do this - but I'm curious...
Say you've been working with an agent for a while now. You submitted to the agent, the agent gave you feedback, and for a couple months to a year you've been working together to put together a manuscript. When the agent says that he/she thinks the ms is good enough for submission to pub houses, you decide to take the ms you've been working on and submit it to an agent that's more well-known to up the chances of getting it accepted by a pub house.
Again, I wouldn't do this, but I'm curious to know if people do. Because this is a business, is this a common scene in publishing? (And no judgement towards anyone who has! I personally wouldn't, but I could understand the reasoning I bet.)
