I just got an email from an agent saying she only works on an exclusive basis and, if nobody else is reading my doc she would like to take a look. Trouble is, I do have one other agent reading it. That said, the other agent has had it for a while and I'm thinking she's not interested, but I haven't heard.

Where do I go with this? Assume the one that has it now isn't interested? Write to the one who wants the exclusive and explain? Other?

Dear [agent name]

I regret that I can't offer you an exclusive, as others have already requested the manuscript, but I've attached it in case you'd still like to take a look.

Sincerely,

[your name].

I've done this on a few occasions, and usually the agent still reads the pages.
