But it is a needed profession. And like yours, involves more than the surface label might suggest.<br /><br />I send to email agents only for your reasons. And I also don't have the free time to tramp out to the post office, wait in long lines, and then mail only to receive a form rejection.<br /><br />I try to individualize each query, from past interviews and their blogs or web sites. That limits the number drastically of those I send out at a time. But I think I would prefer that from a writer were I an agent. You have a great blog. RolandRoland D.

I don't want to blow through all my dream agents and find out I need a major query or manuscript rehaul. <br />Nice to meet you and your blog.

'Dream Agents', 'Agents that sound perfect but don't know much about 'em', 'Agents that cover my genre'. I would start querying the third list first. Send out ten querries and wait a month. If no one resonds, retweek your letter. Then send out to ten more, etc...Creepy Query Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115161057496086972noreply@blogger.com
