When to rework query

[cube]

I'm currently querying a novel and am thinking of reworking it a bit. However, I'm not sure if I should tinker with it at this point.

So far I have 37 out, 22 rejects/NRs, and 2 full requests. Some of my initial rejects were when my query was less polished than the query that achieved the full requests.

Should I just stick with the query that got the full requests or am I experiencing a high rejection rate?

My gut says retool, (it also says donuts, but that's another story). However, I also know how subjective, trend-driven and downright clickesh this industry is. That's a stumper, C. Buona fortuna, whatever you decide.

Well, what's your rejection rate/request rate since you fancied it up some?
And you have to also take into consideration those requests and rejections that also had sample pages or a synopsis to go off of.

Ok, I went back through my emails and did a tally. Here's what I have for the revised query.

Full Requests:
1, no pages included
1, pages included, answered by assistant or intern (someone other than agent)

Rejections:
6, pages included
3, no pages included

Ok. So based of those numbers, i wouldn't neccesarily say that your pages are hurting or harming you.
I mean, do you feel like changing the query around will help some?
If so, go for it. Maybe paste it here and get some other opinions on it. As long as you workshop it really well, i really doubt you'll make it worse

Makes sense--thanks for the feedback.
