I've recently finished a major revision of a manuscript, based on feedback from a R&R, and I am preparing to start querying this manuscript once more.
I've also noticed that some agents state that you may re-submit rejected queries if certain criterion are met. (The manuscript has undergone a major revision, six months or more have passed since the previous submission, and so on.)
What I am wondering is if those agents were stating their own opinions, or restating some unspoken industry rule-of-thumb. Is there a rule on resubmissions, or is it a general no-no excepting where the agent states otherwise?
My fear isn't that the agent will reject me a second time, but rather that resubmitting will anger agents and close doors on future projects.
Any insight you have on this would be greatly appreciated.
