An agent I queried last year recently changed her query policy and is now accepting new queries if authors have revised their books or queries or both.
I did a major revision over the last few months and my novel will be ready to query as soon as betas are done with it. Most of the responses I have gotten are extremely positive so far. I'm just waiting on the last few!
My question is, do I need to state in the query that this is a revision of a previously queried work? I queried under a different title before and also with a drastically different query. The plot is the same, I just really made some changes in presentation.
I don't want to throw things off by a long-winded explanation. I also don't want to make it appear that I am hiding anything, because I would not wish to.
What is appropriate? Also, this agent now wants the first five pages, which were not included before. She's never seen my actual story.
