Mention you've queried all and sundry in your email to them, ignore and not mention or something else?<br /><br />Further to this, I've seen the following <i>if we request your manuscript, we prefer that you send it to us on an exclusive basis</i> as well. Would you apply the same theory to this as to a query? As in, why not send pages to anyone who asks rather than limit to the one agent?AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-19471536197382042592015-04-27T17:01:56.105-04:002015-04-27T17:01:56.105-04:00Don't get upset about your writing problems!

It burned so badly, I quit querying. I had done my research, met her in person, and thought myself wise. <br /><br />If I had read this then, I'd have known how ridiculous the idea of an exclusive was and missed out on the heart ache and frustration. <br /><br />Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-45538252225348993282015-04-27T10:34:09.155-04:002015-04-27T10:34:09.155-04:00Very good post!

Authors who are established and already have experience are more clear on the YOU are HIRING someone, but as a new author who is trying to get represented for the first time, it is more that the agent is choosing you not the other way around.Clair Brettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-61636731157821800612015-04-27T10:18:49.645-04:002015-04-27T10:18:49.645-04:00"YOU are HIRING someone to work WITH you.&quo..."YOU are HIRING someone to work WITH you." - well said, but why is it with so many (other) agents it feels like we authors are the Oliver Twist of the situation, asking for more gruel? <br /><br />- TOSKThe Other Stephen Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471972807328125155noreply@blogger.com
