Simultaneous Submissions

Hi,

Just wondering, what the "done thing" is? If there is no mention of simultaneous submissions on an agent's website, is it okay to assume they don't mind if you send to others at the same time? Or is it an unwritten rule that you should only send to one agent at a time?

Hello Lucy,

There is no rule to how many agents you send your work to, You can send 5-8 at a time,as they always answer after 2-3 months and I don't think one should be waiting for months before sending off to other agent. For More detailed answer plz check this link
