query etiquette question

<< < (2/2)

Kali:
Yeah, sadly I'd have to concur. If the agent suggested it, you could've gone for it safely. You could even have included it in your query letter. "Agent Name suggested I send my query to you" could've been tucked in and probably would've skipped you over a layer of slush pile right there.  But if you really didn't think they were a good fit, then better no agent than a bad one, I think.

But that's me, and it's not like I'm burning up any best-sellers lists, here.

LizW65:
Yeah, I should think something like "Dear Mr. Jones:  I am contacting you on the recommendation of your colleague, Ms. Smith" would be a perfectly acceptable opener.
And Kali, cool website.  Is the full story of The Little Black Box available anywhere?
