The Art of Selling
Squeezing lemons, sweetening the juice, adding water, pouring over crushed ice into just the right cup would be easy in August, compared to querying agents on behalf of my novel. But I'm offering them the equivalent of lemonade on a hot day--a book to quench readers' thirst, wake up their taste buds, and refresh their spirits.

I've read that some agents like to actually see the first 50 pages in stead of a query. THat is probably not very helpful. But you could attempt it with some longshots. Not that anything is a longshot really :)
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty much a rule to send only what's asked for but most ask for some pages up front.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your note!
Wonderful analogy!
