Thanks, charlie_girl. You're right. It doesn't hurt to try. I already have the no!
Thanks for the encouragement!

Hey, vanelle87. From his stats, it looks like he's only gotten around to responding to queries sent in the beginning of April. If you forgot to send the synopsis, I'd just shoot off a brief apology, appending the necessary material. I've found nearly every agent I've interacted with to be super-gracious. Don't be so quick to write yourself off. *fist bump*
