Hi,
I just joined recently. I've finished my first novel and am putting together submissions for agents.
I have often read over the years that it is best to send a submission to a particular agent, apparantly it shows that you have researched the agency, but now I find that on most agencies websites they say - send to "Submission Dept."
Should I heed the advice I read and address my subs to "Agent A"? I'm worried that they may think I'm being a smartass and trash it without reading.
As I write these letters I am second guessing myself into a nervous breakdown. (I suspect I am not alone in this)
I will be grateful for any advice received.
Siddharta.
