I had about 6 agents at the top of my list that I thought would be perfect matches--alas, it was not mutual. And the other 47 nearly-perfect-matches gave me no love either.Angelica R.

I kind of just pick agents out at random, stalk them from afar, then pluck up the courage to query them one at a time. Snoooore.<br /><br />That being said, I haven't started querying for my NEW project yet, so maybe now's a good time to be as uber organised as you?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01445416054945632135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3049843947098881146.post-54082669085950118042010-09-02T19:06:40.910-04:002010-09-02T19:06:40.910-04:00I like making lists too, but I suck at checking th...I like making lists too, but I suck at checking them, so it's all useless at the end. I do have a top five list of agents I'd like to be represented by, though. I'm hoping to query by the end of this year. <br /><br />I hope you do get that dream agent of yours real soon, and I think you're going about it in a great way. Definitely better to have information you're not going to use than not have enough information.Remilda Graystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649300813621588790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3049843947098881146.post-49033730529019200042010-09-02T17:10:04.187-04:002010-09-02T17:10:04.187-04:00Yes but these are all very sensible things to do w...Yes but these are all very sensible things to do when searching for an agent! You've done it exactly right...and your criteria of what a dream agent is is PERFECT.<br /><br />My process isn't quite as um, thorough as that. But it does involve lists and searching and cross referencing and more searching. I can honestly say that no agent I query is unresearched by me.Sierra Godfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552916038080341870noreply@blogger.com
