I could swear I posted this before.
What is an associate agent? They're part-time or something, right? Supposing I had the next bestseller under my arm - is there any point in sending it to an "associate?" Even if they're under the wing of a respected agency, wouldn't one assume that agenting is not their top priority and therefore your manuscript probably won't get the best possible marketing?
The person who asked to see my manuscript attached a handwritten note to the agency's form acceptance letter (which by the way was printed on lime green paper). She also attached a business card, which is paisley. I'm not kidding.
Should I waste the postage?
I won't say which agency she's an "associate" with because that's just sort of nasty and gossipy, but I'll just say they've been around forever and as far as I know they are very respected.
