I started querying the first installment of my book series last week. I started on Thursday, received two rejections that day and then by some miracle of the lit gods, I was offered a three week exclusively for the full MS. After some research I decided to take it as I have nothing to lose and no other agents have the full MS.
I sent this agent the first three chapters per the agencies query guidelines around 9:15 a.m. then was offered the exclusive around 5:00 p.m. I know this is a short response time.
I'm assuming this is a good thing?
I'm new to publishing and querying and am not familiar with any of this and had to do a lot of research before I started. Obviously I know this isn't a done deal and don't want to put all of my eggs in one basket, but I feel like this a step in the right direction. It is from a good agency from what I've seen and read about online.
I sent this agent the full MS on Friday which I'm assuming is the start of the exclusive. It expires on February 19. What I'm thinking of doing is giving the agent another week if I don't hear from them, then following up. If there is no response in a week after the follow up, I will assume they passed and start querying again. Is this a good idea/the way to go?
Just trying to get some insight into this situation.
