Mail or Email - Which has better success rate?

JamieB · Dec 17, 2008

I know I have read about this on the forums somewhere, but I can't find it anymore. Please move to appropriate thread if there is one.

Anyway, has anyone had success lately with snail mail queries? I have sent out MANY (and I mean MANY) queries by both email and snail mail. Every request for partials and fulls have been from email queries.

Anyone having a similar experience?

All of my requests have come from email.

I agree. But I find more predators on the net and a lot of them don't respond at all. I put a lot of effort proposals and write a new query for each agent so I like snail mail for a better rate of responses.

12 requests from email queries and 3 requests from snail mail queries. So far, 8 agents who requested partials or fulls have passed; I'm still waiting to hear from the other 7.

I've had both, even a form full request by snail mail on my last book. But on the current one, which snagged me an agent, I only sent email queries.
