Big Step! My first query letter went out to the literary agent Steve Chudney at The Chudney Agency. I picked him for several reasons. First, he grew up in Israel and likes books about the Middle East. Secondly, he will only accept a query letter for the first step. If he is interested he will ask for the synopsis which is well roughed out now. I put it on Google Docs for my daughter, who is my first stage editor to look at and suggest edits/changes. It should be well polished by the time I hear back. He says his response time is 2 - 3 weeks.
I got his name and address from the "Guide to Literary Agents 2016."
I am also going to send the query letter today to a new agent, Kurestin Armada at PS Literary as she also accepts only a query letter for the first step. I have read that New Agents may have fewer contacts, but more time to devote to shopping your book. We'll see. I am excited!
