    • DH is one. He went to the bookstore and read the acknowledgments of books he liked/similar writing style/etc. to find the names of their agents. He put together a query letter and sent it to 6 agents at a time. About half each time would ask for the manuscript. When he didn't hear from any of the first three after two months, he sent a second batch, but his first choice agent from first round ended up taking him as a client.

      • Thanks- this is useful. I have a group of 'like' books but hadn't thought to look inside for agent acknowledgement. Did he have the manuscript completed or just a proposal?
