I just got a full request from an agent (yay!). His submission guidelines ask for manuscripts to be sent on an "exclusive basis." Which I am happy to do, but his request also said that I can expect to hear back from him in four to six weeks. That seems like an awful long time to not be doing anything with my manuscript.
Does a request for an exclusive also mean I should stop sending out queries to other agents? It does seem like it would be a bit awkward if I got another request and then had to say, "Well, I'd like to send it to you but there's this other guy who wanted an exclusive look at it ... " Anyone know the correct etiquette for this?
Thanks!
