Is it ok to send another query?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-76875208328255423582007-01-09T13:20:00.000-05:002007-01-09T13:20:00.000-05:00And a quick aside here, be careful of your reasoni...And a quick aside here, be careful of your reasoning. It has amazed me over the years how often authors have sent material to Agent A over Agent B (even if Agent A requested it) because they thought they knew better (and usually they don't).

Keep in mind though that agents do talk a lot and might wonder why you pull material after a week and send it to someone else a week later. Also note, most agencies do share submissions so in all likelihood they will pass yours around if they feel it's worthwhile to have someone else look at it.<br /><br />--jessicaBookEnds, A Literary Agencyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06287278822065839469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-54231072021700666102007-01-09T11:21:00.000-05:002007-01-09T11:21:00.000-05:00Yes, but how long do you wait to resend a query wh...Yes, but how long do you wait to resend a query when you haven't mistaken the preferences of the agent and you just haven't heard from them?
