Are you going to be doing this often? I ask because another agent is strongly considering my manuscript, and I don't want to be a jerk by sending it to you. It would be embarrassing if one or both of you said yes.
If he says no, I'd like to do the Masochism Monday thing on down the road, though. You seem like a pretty swell cat.
Um my slush pile is always open. Right now, the hold time is low.
Also, unless you've told the other agent you've given them an exclusive they expect you are showing it to everyone and their cousin Jeb's boyfriend Bubba.
Therein lies the rub... I'm afraid I did tell him it was an exclusive. He seems very interested and I wanted him to feel comfortable while making his decision. I was referred in by a somewhat powerful client of his, and I just wanted to be curteous.
I have the utmost respect for you hard-working fellows, and I want to be cordial. Your offer of reading seemed pretty generous, and I really did want to take you up on it. That's why I'm hoping to pursue representation from you at a later date if you do the Masochism Monday thing again.
