Just listened to Jennifer Laughran's podcast (Literaticast) and it said that we can NOW query more than one agent at their agency. Just a three agent limit. Yeah, man!

Received a very prompt response, which was a polite rejection and a reason explaining why it was not the right book for her. Really quite impressive.
