Though I have queried over twenty agents by now in my search for representation, I am still at a loss when it comes to sending multiple requests on the first query (i.e. the agent requests you send a query, synopsis, and sample pages, etc.).
Are you expected to send your standard query letter (considering mine is three paragraphs only about my MS, in which the plot is summarized) and then right after have the synopsis (which is essentially an extension of my query letter)? Or should one say something like in a cover letter (title, genre, word count) and then have their full synopsis and sample pages?
While I don't wish to go against the agent's requirements, I don't want to be redundant either and hit people over the head with my MS.
Thank you in advance for your responses; I hope my question makes sense.
