I received what I believe to be a revise & resubmit request from my top agency choice. Of course, I'm on cloud nine. But I have a question.
Awesome Agent (aka owner of Top Agency) started by telling me what worked in my novel, and then listed some general areas where the manuscript could be improved. AA then went on to say that there is a lot more I can work on in the manuscript, and asked if I'd be willing to make changes. However, AA also asked if I would be willing to work with another agent in the agency (let's say "Agent B"), who is a "big advocate" for me and would be a "great help".
Of course, I replied to the email right away saying that I would absolutely be willing to make changes and work with Agent B. However, should I just dive right in to making changes based on the general comments, or does it seem like I should wait to hear from Agent B who may have more specific feedback for me?
Which leads me to another question. If Agent B contacts me asking for more specific changes, how long is generally customary to return the novel with the aforementioned changes? Does the amount of time spent revising matter?
Thank you in advance for your advice!
