After hitting send (and multiple re-reads and double checks of the query that I WAS sending), I realized that I had made a spelling error on a name in my query.
--Not the agent's name, THANK GOODNESS, but I had referenced one of her authors and how fans of that author may enjoy my story (and, even more embarassingly, I'm a HUGE fan of the author, which is why this is even more painful to admit.) I guess my eyes glossed over familiar words and spell check wouldn't catch the error-- whatever the reason, I messed up.
Do I write a quick e-mail to apologize for the misspelling, or do I just do what I have been doing (and hope wonderagent doesn't penalize me for my oops?) In my non-writing profession, I normally would have followed up with an apologetic e-mail, but I'm new to the querying process and don't know the rules.
Thank you in advance for any replies!
