@LaneHeymont I saw a tweet about replying to an agent's rejection with a TY. I'd read that you shouldn't respond, even if there's a little feedback (unless it's a revise & resubmit) because agents have too much to read already. Should I have sent a TY?Sending a TY is polite. I send them to editors who pass but some agents may find them annoying? I think it’s fine to say TY as long as that’s ALL you say. A lot of authors use any form of communication as a shot to keep the convo going and THAT’S what agents don’t have time for.

@LaneHeymont If a query was rejected more than a year ago, and significant revisions have been made, is it worthwhile to re-query? If so, what is the protocol for doing so -- I assume to say upfront in the query letter that this is a resubmission?Yes to all that.
