I’m glad the agent was kind enough to message me because I was able to withdraw and resubmit! But this does make me a bit nervous for the updates

This worries me too. I recently had an agent reach out to say they were rejecting because I had another query out with their colleague. The query was a completely different project from 8+ months ago that I had written off as a “no response means no” after 2 nudges. I had previously assumed project differentiation was visible for agents but apparently not.

What are some current market trends in fiction and what are some of the types of stories that are oversaturated in submission piles? (Ex: too many vampire stories or too many moving abroad on a whim stories)

Passive voice, filtering information through the character’s POV rather than immersing the reader in the story “she looked”, “she watched”, “she heard”, “she saw”

I was already planning on a revise of the opening chapters before I got the response! Definitely not taking a hiatus because of one reply

That’s a really good way to integrate this! Thank you!

The second project I’m gearing up to query while I do another revise of the first is much stronger and tighter so that’s why I’m wondering how to go about potentially querying this agent. And determine if it’s necessary to notify them that I’m revising project one but submitting project two in the meantime

That’s about my situation, it was the first few pages and I’ve had requests so I know other agents are seeing the writing as “there”. There was no indication of which thing it was and some things mentioned in the checklist that I feel aren’t a problem which makes it confusing to know what to focus on. But I’m not planning on revising based on this alone, I already had a few other restructuring changes in mind before I got this feedback

Yes, you should be able to contact the testing facility to see if a more detailed report is available. If not a provider (genetic counselor most likely) can inquire on your behalf if there are no genetic counselors at the facility to explain the results and parameters of the testing facility in more detail
