Thanks Elizabeth! <br /><br />Now, Jennie, you know I have no idea how that happened. *grins* <br /><br />Really, it's about educating yourself on which agents would be most interested in your work, reading every blog you can about query letters and the business in general, and as Janet Reid puts it, trying your best not to be a yahoo. <br /><br />Sometimes I don't do so well with the yahoo part.Myra McEntirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489075264670333000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-50413551772362233942009-06-29T10:15:14.116-04:002009-06-29T10:15:14.116-04:00BTW, people, Myra just signed with Holly Root at t...BTW, people, Myra just signed with Holly Root at the Waxman Agency. That was after sending queries to her top ten agents, and getting five requests for full manuscripts from those ten queries. (I know. Unheard-of, right?) By the time it was all said and done, she had several offers for representation. If anyone else would like to know how to do that, ask her, why doncha?Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442754671445893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-67130188707935324152009-06-29T08:53:12.170-04:002009-06-29T08:53:12.170-04:00Hello, Myra, darling!

I can see the benefit, sort of, theoretically, but I have no idea how to actually work it. I signed up, so I'm over there somewhere, but I don't know how to use it. Still, with people like BookEnds Literary Agency taking twitter-queries for books now, I don't think it's something a writer can afford to ignore, really.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442754671445893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-22195592172600913932009-06-29T07:40:08.396-04:002009-06-29T07:40:08.396-04:00I was very reluctant to join FB and Twitter, but t...I was very reluctant to join FB and Twitter, but they've been so beneficial in many ways.
