If I cannot come up with at least ten, I won't sign the client to begin with. So now I go to my mental list of editors and query. #agentlife

When I read the manuscript originally, I visualized at least ten editors who would potentially love this project. #agentlife

Sometimes I run it by a colleague, sometimes I don't. It depends on how insecure I am about my phrasing. #agentlife
Literary Agent
Once I 'm 100% sure that I cannot improve the manuscript any further, I put together a query letter. #agentlife
Literary Agent
It's Day 5 of what happens when I sign a new client. Today's topic: Submission Time. #querywin #agentlife

Once that is all done, the client returns to their manuscript and gets it back to me when they think it's perfect. #agentlife #querywin
