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!

Thank you for thinking of me with XXXXXXX. Great pitch but ultimately, I didn't end up falling in love with the sample pages.

EQ: 4/2 using her client's book, The Devouring Gray, as a personalized comp. Hopefully querying her was a good idea. I know sometimes agent's don't want to rep something similar!
