I e-queried Jessica Regel last week, and she asked for the first three chapters with two-week exclusive, and I sent it off a few hours ago. I didn't say anything about the two-week exclusive, but nobody else has a partial or full or anything, so she has exclusive by default anyway.
I'm gonna be so bummed if she calls, and then she's like "just kidding, it's not for me." I freak out when they ask for a partial.
But at any rate, I've decided to be excited over Jessica Regel and ignore the exclusive thing. The odds of two agents wanting to compete over my work seems very unlikely, but if it happened, it would kinda turn me on anyway.
I'll let you know if anything fun/exciting/traumatic happens with Jessica Regel and the partial. (Even tho I'm suspecting a standard rejection).
