AND ANOTHER THING: When practically the FIRST line of my query specifies my one of the dual narrators as 13 and CLEARLY indicates that it is an adult novel, Why would you request that I go through the expense and time of sending you a SNAIL MAIL partial if you don't think editors want to buy books with children protags?!!!?
This guy owes me $16.
I hear you. I snailmailed a full to an agent who requested it off my query. She immediately told me my book was too long, so she didn't read it. Er, my word count was in the query, woman. Indeed, you told me to send a hard copy because you didn't want to read anything that long on your computer.
