So, how can I circumvent six months of slush to let an Agent know about my contract? also I really want push my other work more than the book with the deal, will that get in the way?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-19035393648182457502010-07-18T17:29:01.158-04:002010-07-18T17:29:01.158-04:00Good point, Gabrielle.Good point, Gabrielle.The Rejecterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087643296072075641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-38333029973948726072010-07-15T23:54:39.593-04:002010-07-15T23:54:39.593-04:00There is some urgency when it comes to answering a...There is <i>some</i> urgency when it comes to answering a publisher's offer, but it's not like it's going to go away in thirty minutes, or even overnight. If you acknowledge the offer, thank them graciously, and let them know that your decision will be forthcoming (maybe ask them for a week), you have time to notify agents and give them that time to catch up on your submission. <br /><br />Publishers would probably question it <i>more</i> if they gave you an offer and heard nothing back from you at all (while you did your agent rounds).Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436255524823439240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-2588151307820608242010-07-15T22:39:06.225-04:002010-07-15T22:39:06.225-04:00Generally when you have an offer from one company ...Generally when you have an offer from one company because you only submitted to one company (as is in this case), you have to deal with that company exclusively and only if you reject that offer can you go to other publishers. <br /><br />If you're an agent, you can submit to multiple companies, but you do it all at once so the ground is even. <br /><br />In this case, the agent would probably only pick up the client if they also felt the offer on the table was reasonable.The Rejecterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087643296072075641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35623128.post-20146179910636819822010-07-15T22:33:40.141-04:002010-07-15T22:33:40.141-04:00On that, if the agent picks you up based on that o...On that, if the agent picks you up based on that one offer on the table, will they just take that offer? Or try to represent to you other publishing houses based on their experience?Erin Kane Spockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376851676240606472noreply@blogger.com
