I queried around 40 agents a few years back and either got no reply or a form rejection. I rewrote my book this past year from scratch and finally got it polished while working on my query simultaneously. Thought I got the query lingo down this time around. However, I'm getting the same no replies or form rejections. I stopped after the first batch of ten to figure out the problem. Logic tells me it's the query that needs redoing, but shouldn't the first ten pages also be double checked? This is such a weird feeling of being incredibly lost and angsty at the same time. Considering getting professional help with the query, and I'm meeting with former writing professors this coming week, so hopefully I won't keep making an ass of myself when querying. God, first impressions are hard.
