@erinlindsmccabe thank you so much for this helpful tip! Since it was sent in 12 days ago, I think I will try sending again with the sample pages pasted after some weeks.

@pocket_rose Agents almost never want attachments when you're querying-- you definitely want to paste the sample pages (and anything else they want--synopsis and bio in this case) into the body of your email. If they end up requesting more from you, that's usually when you can send attachments, but they'll tell you if so.

Hello, I submitted a query 12 days ago and attached the sample to the email. Now I'm realizing the 'embed' on her submissions guidelines page might not mean attach. Can anyone confirm this? Should I resubmit with the sample pasted in the email? Thanks everyone!
