What each agent had sold previously?Elizabeth Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214706118828699708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434001584717623623.post-70970008479585347282012-08-22T00:33:10.910-04:002012-08-22T00:33:10.910-04:00I had 10 requests out of about 40 queries, but I d...I had 10 requests out of about 40 queries, but I didn't fully understand which agents are appropriate for which books, so I queried a number of agents who don't rep mysteries.<br /><br />I had two offers at the end. When choosing among agents you have to make a decision after personal impression after speaking to them, and also based on what they've sold in the past. Paying $20 for a month's worth of Publishers' Marketplace deal database access isn't the worst idea in the world. <br />Daniel Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217086697322548237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434001584717623623.post-22419291912828599512012-08-21T10:27:48.382-04:002012-08-21T10:27:48.382-04:00This is an excellent query.

How many partial/full requests you had, how many no responses, and how many agent offers you had at the end?<br /><br />I was also wondering how you knew your agent was the "right" one. I know the whole mythical perfect agent is a bit of hyperbole, but how did you decide that this was the right person to help you with your writing career?Elizabeth Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214706118828699708noreply@blogger.com
