I have a question about something you said! "They’ll ask who else at my house has this? because different houses have different rules about who can bid against each other, or whether they can enter different bids at all." Does that mean you'll send the same projects to different editors at the same imprint (say, Anchor), or does that mean the larger house (different imprints at Knopf)?
Super-helpful! It's honestly kind of comforting to know that agents are going through the same process with editors as writers are going through with agents. We're all in the same boat of waiting, uncertainty and hope. :D

Thanks for sharing. It’s helpful for those of us who are getting ready to dive into the query slush pile 😊
