Russell has a large genre interest, letting me know he enjoys the written word as much as me and is enthusiastic about his career. I sent Mr. Galen my query on 10/07.
Waiting on reply for 145k suspense, thriller, sci-fi.

While I wait, and I encourage y'all to do the same, get the mailing list together for pre-launching. Update your blogs, twitter, face-pages, and other social media memberships you're a part of. Maybe even become members with the slant of your author status. Clean your profiles of unwanted advertisements and do some networking with those you're linked to. Not pushy but letting people know you exist and are a positive individual. Make it easy on your future agent, will ya? Set-up your website or do your research for what website provider you'll use and supplies you'll need to accommodate visitors. Start marketing initiatives and pre-launch ideas for success.
You see, the thing is that agents know the business, but they can't do ALL the heavy lifting. Your books are, and will only be, as good as your continuing effort. Here's a tidbit for you guys. Fifty Shades of Grey was a self-published novel based on a fan fiction dialog for Twilight lovers. The writing was poor, BUT... the fan base was already there. She had done her marketing and became a success. She was an Indie author, y'all.

Leannek1013, Jack Scovil passed away back in 2012. I think they keep him on their website out of respect, but I don't know if they monitor that email address or not.

High Fantasy - personalize Q letter with mentions of some of his clients who had inspired me, which he appreciated enough to write back personally thanking me for the interest but rejecting because he was "Not looking to expand his list in that are".
