Friday Night at the Question Emporium

At a recent writers conference I pitched my story to several agents, some of whom requested partials/fulls. I just got some critique back from one of those agents which apply to the whole manuscript (I'm working on the revisions right now). The agent wants me to resubmit the revised version, but at this point would I also send that revised version to the other agents? If so, do I shoot them an email first asking if they want that revised version? Or do I just do nothing? What's the protocol?



You send the revisions to the agent who guided you in making them first. If that agent passes (or dawdles too long!), you email the other agents to say you have a spiffier updated version of the manuscript and would they like to see it?

    You should email them to me with "Question Emporium" in the subject line.

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
