sent it out again

I've decided I'm going to break with some "blog tradition" of anonymity and reveal the names of the agents to whom I'm sending., after they've passed on the manuscript (there's a reason for this, but I don't want to blog about this right now). The first
agency, who passed on the unrevised manuscript of The Strega's Story, but wants to see a revision, was the Sandra Dijkstra Agency. Since my manuscript was picked out of the slush pile at this agency (one of the top five agencies in the country) and still given a very positive response, I'm hesitant to do a multiple submission, for now. It depends upon what the next agent's response is, I think. One writer suggested simply getting my next agent query together, ready to send in case of a rejection.

I don't have a lot of writer friends who can give me an agent referral, though I've gotten referrals for some really bad agents or really inappropriate agents (someone who mainly handles self-help books, for example). Still, I do know it's possible to have a fair reading after having one's manuscript picked out of the slush, because it happened to me on the first try! There is a part of me that wants things immediately and so the universe must teach me patience, I suppose.
