I have another question about agents. Up till now my writing has focused on category romance, but due to recent changes in their marketing I'm starting to feel a bit hung out to dry. I'm feeling there may no longer be a place for me in category. Anyway for the past few years I've been thinking about going YA. I've always loved Nancy Drew as a kid, and I would love to write something that catches sense of adventure. I have an idea, and I think it's pretty original. Not sure if its been done or not, but I'd like to give it a try.
Anyway my problem is when quering an agent should I mention my category experiences? I've always heard agents want writers to stick to one genre, so is mentioning my category successes going to damage my chances or not? Unfortunately I have nothing else to 'brag' about as far as writing goes, so would it better to say nothing or go ahead and mention them?
Also when a agent's submission info just says send a query, that's all you send, right? Just the letter, not the letter and synopsis?
Thanks
Sandy
