My first new thread outside of the Introductions group – This seemed to be where most of the query questions lived, so I assumed this would be appropriate. If not, please forgive me and move it as needed. (Thanks!)
I'm only just getting into the query process. I've been researching my list of agents and making the excel-file-to-end-all-excel-files. Then I got a bit stumped.
Since this will be my first outing into query-world. I definitely didn't want to send more than 10 out in any batch, in case I make an incredibly stupid mistake (I'm sure there will be at least one monstrous banana peel awaiting me)
How do you guys divvy up your lists for batches?
Do you send to a mix of the upper-echelon, world changing agents and the just-making a name for themselves? Alphabetical order? Tempt heartache by sending to all of you biggest dreams first?
I hadn't seen anything about batching strategies here – but I may not have gone back far enough into the archives. (apologies if I missed anything recent – I will blame the banana peel) I'd appreciate any thoughts any of you have. I'm definitely looking for suggestions, but am also just kind of interested in how everyone approaches this part of the madness.
Thanks so much
