Hi All,
I am a new author and finished a non-fiction ms after 2 years. I sent about 30 queries and have had one request for a book proposal. I sent the proposal and just received another request for "any and all works."

Ok, what does "any and all works" mean?

Also, my friend told me I couldn't send out my proposal or ms until I hear back from the first agent. Is this true?

What are the rules?
THanks!!

Agree with Elindsen -- that "any and all works" sounds promising but I don't know what they mean -- email for clarification.

And do NOT offer an exclusive. It's in the author's best interest to keep querying.
