This is not a poll, but I've got a question for all the full time and part time working writers here.
When seeking new assignments, querying agents, or looking for a paying job outside of writing, which do you find more effective: email, snail mail or the telephone?
I admit the email route is by far the easiest for me, but I wonder if I'm relying on it too much and not getting the results I might through cold calls or impressive letters.
I know it's hard as well as nerve-wracking to get someone who doesn't know you to come to the phone, but these days I have no idea if any of my emails are even being received, let alone read.
