In the reading that I have been doing, I have seen some mixed messages.
It was my understanding that you submit a query to one agent/agency, wait for rejection, learn what you can, submit to a different agent/agency, repeat until success.
I have recently read some alternatives to this approach.
Submit to a handful of agents/agencies, wait for success.
What is the "recommended" approach?
I just submitted a query with first five pages to an agent. I had been waiting for acceptance/rejection, but now as I do more research it seems like I should be submitting to others as well.
Should I just be sitting idly by waiting anxioiusly my first rejection, or should I "shotgun" out as many queries as I can?
What are the experiences of the people here who have actually achieved a request for more material?
