To get a job, he noted, he would send resumes to as many contacts as possible. Why then should he be cautioned to send only one query letter at a time.
No one has answered his question as yet.
Should he obey the rule? (Who set that rule anyway?)
She he throw that caution to the proverbial wind and hit every potential agent with a query?
I don't know.
Do you?
Meanwhile, to make him feel less discouraged if and when he starts receiving rejections (or getting no responses at all), I sent him to this website.
I hope it made him smile and gave him hope.
I strongly recommend visiting the Query Shark blog and reading Noah Lukeman's LANDING (AND KEEPING) A LITERARY AGENT as well as his book HOW TO WRITE A GREAT QUERY LETTER. All 3 resources are to-the-point and informative.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated! I've already pointed him to Query Shark and will now suggest Lukeman's site and book.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting one. It is so much impressive article written.
