Frequently asked questions about agents

“

- [Instructor] Sending your manuscript out to an interested agent, or agents, is a very precarious and nerveracking stage of the game. Probably more so than just the simple query stage. Which is why I get so many questions from authors about this part of the novel selling process. I'm going to go through these frequently asked questions and answer them one-by-one. What if more than one agent wants to read my book at the same time? If you have 10 to 20 queries out at the same time, there's a good chance that more than one agent is going to respond positively. And trust me, this is a very good thing. This is not a problem at all. Go ahead and send your manuscript out to any agent who requests it. There's no reason why you can't have more than one agent reading your materials at the same time. Remember, this is a numbers game and the more agents who are considering your materials, the better chance you have at getting represented. This also means that your query is working, so congrats…
