I queried many, many agents, getting many, many rejections. A few gave me very nice suggestions (one in particular), and I ended up examining my book and rewriting most of it. I also rewrote the query - in my first query letter, the way I described my book didn't make much sense. I know that now.
What's the proper etiquette of re-querying? I want to send a new query not just to the ones who gave me personal feedback, but to the ones who just sent a form rejection. I've already sent the three who gave me feedback new queries, but I want to work on the others.
Can I do that? Do I mention subbing to them before? Or do I just let it go and not bring it up? There's some really good agents I'd like to try again.

p.s. I didn't change the name of my novel, does that matter?
