OK, I promise I used the search engine to seek the answer to this most likely frequently asked question (so I'm really sorry if it's been asked over and over)
When an agent asks for exclusivity at the point of a partial, but exceeds that time, do you go back to querying and allowing other agents to see it? My understanding is you never bug an agent while they're reviewing the manuscript, so I don't want to nudge them since they are a wonderful agent with a great reputation and are perfect to represent the story I've pitched.
From other threads here, I get the impression it's just a waiting game. And truthfully, they haven't exceeded the duration too far (just a week) ; I'm just worried I'll lose my flow of submitting.
Thanks for any advice
