Huffington Post/Writer's Relief's Writer Wednesdays: "Tips For Dealing With Literary Agents"
If you’ve sent your query to a handful of literary agents and one comes back asking you for an exclusive, don’t get nervous!
So, what exactly is an exclusive? If you’ve sent your query to a literary agent and he or she asks for an exclusive, it just means that the agent wants a chance to review your manuscript before anyone else can see it. It’s a good thing, and it puts you in a great position.
But, as with anything requiring such a commitment, there’s the potential of a snafu popping up here or there. Worry not! We’ve got some helpful solutions for you should a problem arise.
