Well, I took the first big step today and sent out queries, synopses, and sample chapters to four agents on my list. In approx. 3 weeks, I'll hit four more, and so on. I expect the rejection letters to start pouring in by Thanksgiving!

I need some help. I can't figure out how to make a system of how magic works in my books. My characters wield wands but I only want to use those as a focus for directing their magic. Any help would be awesome thanks.

I'd need more info. That said, I'm not sure how far we can take a discussion of a magic system without violating some of the board rules. If the higher ups say its ok making a topic with more info would help.

Queried four more agents yesterday.
Three rejections so far; two standard, one along the lines of "You've done everything right but it just isn't my cup of tea. Good luck") which I found encouraging, for a certain value thereof. :)
Breandan:
those are the best kinds of rejection letters, though- shows your technique is good, it's just not a subject they're pushing at the moment.
