*waves hand*
Also, I'm curious, which agent are you all querying? Sara Megibow still reads the queries for the entire agency, right? And they're both looking for similar genres. So, pretty much you have to pick one or the other.
This is my first post so I hope I'm doing this right.
Anyway, I went to Ms. Nelson's website and thoroughly reviewed all her sample query letters of people that she chose to represent before sending my query. The letter that seemed most similar to my project was addressed to both Ms. Nelson and Ms. Megibow, so that's what I did. I haven't heard back (it's only been one day) but now I'm worried that I should have just picked one person to query, but I was trying to follow as much of what she had on her website as possible. Any thoughts?
Did anyone on this thread attend her recent webinar on pitching sf&f? I heard some great reviews of her process. But I was a little doubtful because the agency itself is more known for urban fantasy and paranormal romance, and she was showing folks how to pitch epic fantasy. Has Kristin sold any epic fantasies in the last few years?
I might either buy the notes when and if they come out on WD. Or I'll attend another webinar if Kristin organizes one, if I hear enough good and useful things about this one.
Thought I'd post my timeline, for those who are interested:
Q: 10/18
Partial request: 10/28
Full request: 11/15
R: 11/17
Pretty sad about this one, since I think they are a terrific agency. I've had 3 R's on fulls in the past few weeks, which are leaving me unsure if I should revise... the problem is that every agent says something different, which is making me think its just an issue of personal preference.
But it was a very polite, kind R, and it came fast. At least she didn't sit on it for 6 months!
