Hi all,
I've got a question and it may have been answered before (it probably was) but I didn't see it in previous threads.
I've been querying for 3-4 months and right now three agents have the full ms. (it's a novel) and two have the first 50 pages. One of the agents with a full emailed me and said he really liked it (this was actually a revision that he'd requested) and wanted to meet with me on Monday. So, my question is, if he offers me representation after we meet, what do I tell the other agents who have it? What do I tell the agent I'm meeting? (Just to be clear, one of the agents I haven't heard from, who has a full, is one of my dream agents.)
I think I've read about this situation before and it seems like the considerate thing to do would be to say to the agent I'm meeting (if he offers representation) that two other agents are reading it, and I'd like to give them another week before I give an answer. Then I call or email the two agents and tell them I've been offered representation by someone and want to give them a week to review my ms. before I give an answer.
Does this sound right?
Thanks everyone, in advance!
RL
