So I'm thumbing through this month's issue of The Writer magazine, and I see an inset about querying agents.
All sounded well and good, be concise, use flawless grammar, and then the author of the article says that if you have materials that could help sell your product, enclose them, like a draft of the book's cover. What? What?
I'm writing a query for my novel right now, and I've been heavily perusing agent's websites. No one says this - not even for non-fic. Not one agent site.
The article doesn't specify fic or non-fic, but wow. I'm not renewing this subscription.
(Then of course I had to google the author, and found this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0595380395/?tag=absolutewritedm-20.)
