Thankee-sai for the wonderful list. You've helped me to put yet another name on my agents to query list, but you've also inadvertently raised a question in my mind. What is the protocol when you want to query two agents at the same agency?
Again I say thanks for the help on my ever growing "to be queried" list.
Hey Ryan, thanks for your comment! You have raised a very good question.
It's considered a no-no to query two agents within the same agency simultaneously. Some agencies have a "no from one of us means no from the whole agency" policy. But others allow you to re-query within the same agency after you have received a rejection from one agent. Just be sure to check out each agency's website for their individual policies.
Please let me know if you have further questions. :)
