Multiple submissions

I have made multiple submissions. The Agents are going to answer at different times. If more than one answer requests to see the remainder of the work, is it proper to send the stuff to each of them and see which one comes up with a firm publishing offer?

Yes you can send subs in but if an agent signs you up then will you continue on sending out subs to other agents?

With regard to Connelyy's answer, one of the agents does specifically say it's O.K. to send submissions to other agents; that it is in the interest of the author to do so considering the time it takes agents to make up their minds. I am only at the stage of sending out sample chapters; although the work itself is completed.

Hi Louis, well first of all good luck with everything.

If an agent asks to see your work I'd send in what they ask for, it doesn't mean that they'll want to take you on ask a client. And you should only take on ONE agent, if they find out you have signed up to others you'll end up with nill agent!
