Left hand knows what the right hand does?

Interesting. After sending out queries I got several v. nice read requests, but what made me wonder is that I never got requests from two agents or managers at the same company.

Is it a coincidence, or does an agent notify others from the same house that he's reading something?

And also: if an agent passes after reading, does it make sense to query others in his company, or does he/she spread the news the script's not worth it?

At the unsolicited query level...no.

Yes, it make sense. Query everybody.

Thanks, Joe!

This begs the question what to do when an agent requests a read as another from the same company already has the script.

There's a bit of debate about that. Some say as a courtesy you should advise that someone from the same firm is reading. I personally think you should just send it without mentioning it. One agent/manager's reaction to certain material may be completely different to another regardless whether they are at the same firm.
