Getting easier…
It’s getting easier to press the send button on query letters. Why? Well, because I realize that just because one agent says no, doesn’t mean the next won’t say yes! The worst that can happen when you query is that you get a note saying “It’s not right for me or my agency at this time.” Which sometimes can be a blow, considering it’s your tip top agent!
