FYI Dystel Goderich & Bourret does not allow you to query another agent at the agency after you have been rejected by one of them. A rejection by one is a rejection by all. I recommend waiting to query them until you 100% sure you have a winning query letter and a solid submission and then sending to your top pick, because you only shot with them.

The "DEAR AUTHOR" rejection really seems a kick in the teeth when agents expect a tailored query. I mean, gosh. :/
