I'm just about ready to send materials to an agent. I understand it's important to send an agent precisely what she requests--no more, no less. The problem? While I know that different agents request different information, I'm finding conflicting information regarding what *the same agent* wants. One popular website that provides information on agents, including their submission guidelines, says she would like to be e-mailed a query letter. A similar popular website says she'd like to be e-mailed a query letter, plus a certain number of pages. Her agency's website says to send (via snail mail) her a query letter, novel synopsis, and a certain number of pages (or maybe it's a certain number of chapters--can't recall at the moment).
I sure don't want the agent's first impression of me to be that I can't follow directions--but I'm getting different directions from different sources. Any advice? Thank you.
