Hand on heart, now, how many of you recognize yourself in this scenario.

You send out a book to an agent/publisher. You wait 6-12 weeks for the Dear John letter. You send it out to a new agent/publisher. Two years later you've sent it out to about ten agents/publishers.

Are you ever tempted to send it out to, say, ten agents/publishers at the same time, knowing that you can always recall it from the others if one of them accepts? Result: 6-12 weeks later, you've had a reply from ten agents/publishers.

And having been tempted, have you ever done it?
