Hi all,
I have been working on an R & R based on feedback from an agent I would love to work with. We had talked about revisions over the phone, emailed back and forth about ideas, but at no point was my revision said to be exclusive to her. I let her know I had other agents who were interested as well, meanwhile I told those agents I would be rewriting and would let them know when it was ready.
So my question is --- When re-submitting the revised MS, what's good etiquette here? I don't have an exclusive with the revising agent but she has been incredibly helpful and has put time into me without any contracts. Plus, she's a badass and I would love to work with her. I have a few other agents, all good people as well, who are waiting on the revisions, one of which even nudged me recently saying she really wanted to see it.
My plan for now is to submit the revision to the first agent and give her two weeks lead time and let her know that after two weeks I will be sending it to the other agents who are also waiting. It seems bad form to write with her revisions and then submit them to all the agents at once. Courtesy seems like I would let her have some time with it first. But, what if she responds before the other agents get a chance to see it? Then that seems like bad etiquette in regards to the other agents and their expressed interest.
Suggestions? Thanks all!
