Hello everyone,
I have a question and wasn't able to find the answer in the archive, nor elsewhere on the internet. Perhaps this is something everyone already knows but I'm confused.
When someone asks for an exclusive full and you tell them you agree to send them an exclusive full, does this mean you can no longer send out partials? Logically, that wouldn't make sense to me because they are called two different things, which makes them different things in my world.
But maybe they are the same in everyone else's once they've been sent. So if I have agreed to an exclusive 3 week full, does this mean I can't send anyone else a requested partial?
Agent query gives advice on sending exclusive fulls and then says they don't recommend giving exclusive partials, for obvious reasons, which seemed to reinforce my thoughts on them being totally different things.
If anyone has a clear yes or no answer on this, I'd be much obliged because thus far I've gotten loads of conflicting answers from other authors and editors. I've never granted an exclusive in the past, and now that I have, I just want to be clear on what I've done.
Next time, I'll try to know what the hell I'm doing before I agree to something I'm not clear on.
