Today I queried an agent who, as a standard, asks for an 8 week exclusive if she requests your manuscript. I already have other agents reading but decided to query her anyway not knowing how long it would take her to respond or if that response would be positive. As luck would have it, she wrote back immediately requesting my manuscript (exclusively) and asked if I could not grant an exclusive to please tell her who else was considering it and for how long. She would then consider making an exception. I thought she wanted to know about the other agents in a general sense, so I told her 4 other agents were reading and for how long. She wrote back wanting specific names. And it made me wary. In the two years I've spent querying various projects, I have never had an agent demand to know who else (specifically) was reading. If it was an offer, then perhaps it would make more sense, but it seems a little excessive at this point. Any one else have this experience? Should I go ahead and tell her? I guess it's not a secret, and I know it's probably not a big deal, but her insistence makes me afraid she's going to scare the others off somehow hahaha Any advice is appreciated!
