In 2009 I kept track of how many books I read. So far in 2010, I'm not reading books at quite the same pace. I am however reading a ton of manuscripts. For statistics purposes, here's where I am right now.
In 2010...
I've been a second reader on 6 manuscripts for other agents in the office.
I've read and sent editorial letters on 23 client manuscripts - some of them more than once.
I've read 92 manuscripts I requested (some partials, some fulls).
Of those 92...
I referred 1 to another agent (they're now working together).
I sent editorial letters to 5.
I offered representation to 3.
And how many published books have I read so far in 2010? ::hides face in embarrassment:: 7
