So I just got a request for a full from an agent I queried. Yay!
Has anyone read King's newest, Mr. Mercedes, yet?
Just don't pull a Hale on that one-star review, Ellaroni!
My boyfriend is a MASSIVE Stephen King fan, and he loved Mr. Mercedes. But he's one of those quiet types who won't really elaborate on things so the most I got out of him was "yeah it's really good." That's really high praise coming from him
In other news, they released the identity of the Ottawa Parliament Hill shooter today and it was a guy my boyfriend used to work with. O.O
JF! I've been missing you!

So I just got a request for a full from an agent I queried. Yay! In my query I mentioned I would be willing to extend a six week exclusive if she desired to read my full. In the message requesting the full, her assistant doesn't mention the six week exclusive. Right now it doesn't really matter because I have no other requests on the board, but if she didn't ask for it am I obligated to give it since I mentioned it in the query? Is it just assumed? Or should I expect her to specifically say she wants the exclusive?
Here's me:
This manuscript is on multiple submission, but I would be happy to grant exclusivity for six weeks if you are interested in reading the complete novel.
And here's her assistant's email:
Thanks so much for reaching out to XXXX for representation. Would you be so kind as to send the manuscript in its entirety attached as a word doc? Also, if you would let us know should you have interest from other agents, that would be lovely.
I think I'm good without the exclusive, but just wondering.
Just don't pull a Hale on that one-star review, Ellaroni!
(Curious as to why you offered an exclusive in your query letter though? Maybe she was an agent that prefers them?)
Haha, I won't! I try look at it positively - now I have ratings covering the entire GR scale.
Oh, hai. I'm here too. Except for the fact that the good girl and bad boy are never together enough to be "nice to her"I do have a badest boy story in mind. The baddie is extremely hawt and nice to the good girl. But he is calculated, violent, ruthless, and will not hesitate to kill people closest to him (other than good girl) for his own good/evil (and has done so). I'm still pondering how he can get away from his evilness.
Sage, do you think that someone who makes love potions and stuff for a living be venturing into Hush, Hush territory?
