General querying etiquette
  • Query one agent at this agency at a time — most ask you not to submit to several of their agents at once.
  • Personalize each query and confirm the agent is open before you send.
  • Have a one-page synopsis and the opening pages ready; many forms ask for them inline.
  • Responses typically take several weeks; no reply after the agent's stated window usually means a pass.
