I have a similar feeling about the book I'm writing now, that you did with your first book. Like, I'm writing it, and I know it's f*&king weird, and waaaaaaay out there. (I've mentioned before, there's acrostic poems in it) But it's just this kind of... first person sci-fi account of experiencing Grief, and I don't really see anyone wanting this. And it's one of those stories that I had an idea about years and years ago, that I finally decided to just shut my mind up, do it, write it, and hopefully move on and get back to writing more poetry. If an agent likes, or sees potential enough to sign me and encourage me to write more stories, rather than toil in the void of obscurity, that's really all I'm looking for. I was soooo happy to hear that you got an agent! Keep doing you, and you'll find you're encouraging the rest of us just by you being yourself.

haha thanks, Moon ;) ah okay so exclusive just means that I can't send the revised MS we worked on together to any other agent for the 30 days while she considers. As for the other requests I got while waiting to hear back, I sent the old version with a note saying I was in the middle of an exclusive R&R and would be willing to send the newest version once the time period is over. All the agents were super cool about it and accepted the revised version (including my current agent! haha)!

I hope that makes sense. ☺️

Thank you so much, Meagan! For the full requests I received during the 30 days the R&R agent had to decide, I just sent the requesting agent an email with the pre-R&R version explaining I had a new version but couldn't send it until "x" date. All of them were super understanding, and when that date rolled around, I sent them all the new version, which they read! :)

I looked up their agency and made sure I recognized some of the books they listed as being from their clients-either by knowing of the authors from twitter, seeing the covers on instagram, booktube, or in bookstores! A publishers marketplace subscription is nice too (I'd just buy one month and vet all the agents you want to query at once!) since you can look each individual agent up and see if they have sales, if the sales were to a major publisher, and for roughly how much!
