e-queries

Proach · Jan 7, 2010

Ok, I have already submitted to two agents who accept e-queries and sample chapters. In the body of the e-query, do you have to list the address of the agency, just like you would in a snail mail? Or can you leave the Agency's address out, and just have your complete address, email and number?

I've listed the agent's complete address in the e-query and I hope I am not making a mistake.

I greatly appreciate your input

Pretty sure you just have your query letter, your contact info, a break, and the sample chapters.

I just go:

Dear [Agent's Name]:

Query.

My name address etc.

Sample pages

Putting in their address is strictly for snail mail queries. But I doubt they'll get upset if you include it.

What fuzzface said. You don't need it, but I'm sure the agent's eyes will just mentally scroll to "Dear _____," and read on. Not necessary in an e-query and not to worry.
