Do you still write Requested Material on the envelope even if the agent doesn't specify it? Thanks!

Always!
And never write Requested Material on something that wasn't requested. It won't work. Ever.

I've never been asked to write "Requested Materials" on anything, and I've never written it on anything that has been requested, and whatever I have sent has always arrived safely and reached the agent's eyes quickly.
So I wouldn't sweat it either way.

I heard somewhere, not sure where, that it's good to write "Requested Material" and include a print-out of the request, so the person knows it's legit and not a scammer trying to beat the system or something. I think it was a publisher's guidelines, not sure though.

I write requested material on the outside of an envelope. I also remember reading somewhere to put that on the outside of the envelope if an agent requests material.
