There's this agent I found who seems pretty good. The agency he works for has somewhat vague requirements, and I don't want to mess up my submission. They say this on their website:
"Please send us a query letter describing the work you'd like to submit, along with some information about yourself and a sample chapter if appropriate."
On the website that spoke about him, they quoted him as saying:
"Send a query letter to info [at] thegernertco.com, with “Attn: Andy Kifer ” in the e-mail’s subject line. I’d prefer to see the first few chapters pasted into the body of the e-mail."
It's all a bit too vague for me; I much prefer very definite guidelines, mainly because then I know I'm not doing things wrong and ruining my chances, and annoying the agent at the same time. How many chapters constitutes 'a few'? Do you think they want a synopsis, or a blurb style little bit of writing?
Thanks for your time
