I sent a few non-fiction book queries to agents last week. Today I discovered that one of them will be doing one-on-one sessions at a conference I plan to attend in two months. Assuming she doesn't write back, should I pitch the idea to her at the conference?
I would have just enough sense NOT to mention my e-query unless she brought it up, in which case I would tell her I was glad she remembered it, given how many queries a busy agent such as herself must receive. I would then begin discussing the better points of my pitch, not bringing up what she didn't find attractive unless she does. If she does, I'll ask her if she'd be willing to consider my proposal after making changes according to her suggestions.
I couldn't figure out how to search for a thread about this particular combination of ideas, so please forgive me if this is an old question!
