Re: @mrjacobs2003 post about Mr. Song's 9/12 twitter saying: "A common complaint I hear about queries is the idea that it's not enough material to make a decision. The idea that an agent is reacting to a pitch and a few sample pages is held up as an example of how the system is somehow unfair. And yeah, it is unfair, but I want you to consider this as you think about putting your query together. A full letter and ten pages is a lot more material than what a potential reader in a bookshop is making their decision on."

Bookstore shoppers not only have the book jacket blurb, but they also have the entire, fully edited and professionally proofed book to peek through; they can even read the end. But most people buy books online now, in which case they have a longer blurb, almost a synopsis, a “look inside” the book on Amazon, and detailed reviews. A book is under construction until published. A book buyer gets the finished product with more information than an agent can ever have at any stage of the process. I’d be a little wary of an agent that doesn’t under this.
