So I wrote my query letter and revised it quite a few times. I have no prior publishing experience, but I have been writing since I could pick-up a pencil (and form actual words).
The only "publishing" experience I have had really is in college we shot a short film based on a screenplay I had wrote. Since screenplays have nothing to do with picture books, I left it out.
Letter can be found here:

Now I have submitted this letter to 3 agents (Andrea Brown Literary Agency, Ethan Ellenberg, and Anderson Literary Management). Something afterwards didn't feel quite right.
Problem was, I sent these three agencies letters but did not realize that Andrea Brown Literary like to receive manuscripts (for early readers) in the email. Would it be polite to re-query this agency (and the specific agent) with the newer query letter, along with the manuscript? They are only accepting email queries at the moment. Should I wait a week, and then resubmit via email?
