One of the agencies I e-queried last week has asked me to mail them a partial manuscript. They’ve asked that along with it I send “a cover letter with a short but detailed bio highlighting your publishing credentials and/or related information about you and a one-paragraph blurb that summarizes your work and highlights your pitch.”
I’m at a bit of a loss as to whether this just means to use a slightly modified version of my query letter (with “I am seeking representation before” replaced by “Here is the material you requested”), or whether the agent will expect to see something new here. I’ll be spending some time searching Writers.net and other sites today in search of a clue.
