Does anyone know if you can submit to more than one agent at this agency? That is, if you receive a rejection. I don't mean at the same time.

Read my partial and responded after about a week with a short, but helpful bit of feedback on the first few chapters.

Query sent: April 2016
I'd closed it out a few months later, but got a partial request in October (after I'd just signed with a different agent, ironically). But I found Jennifer's wording in her request a bit odd: "I do not charge a reading fee, but do require a three-week exclusive read." It feels weird that she says she doesn't charge a reading fee like that's a bonus to be grateful for instead of a commonly accepted ethical practice (it's a HUGE red flag if they *do* charge a reading fee). Also, an exclusive of any length on a partial feels very off to me. It doesn't benefit the writer at all--you're stalling your querying by nearly a month, with almost no actual investment on her part (she doesn't even want the full, just a few chapters), and does she expect you to withdraw other partials and even fulls you might already have out while she reads? This feels unprofessional to me. She is at a very respected agency, though, so... I guess just research and make sure she'd be a good match for you before you query? And I personally always recommend not giving exclusives at all unless the agent has some kind of investment in you/your manuscript (ie, they're offering an exclusive R&R with lots of detailed notes you agree with, or they loved one of your past manuscripts and are likely to sign you on this one). And for anyone who's interested, here's a blog post by agent Janet Reid (aka Query Shark) with more details on how and why exclusives are bad business: http://jetreidliterary.blogspot.com/2009/08/exclusives-stink.html So. That's my rant for the day. :)
