This is great advice! I haven't yet reached out to an agent. I've been waiting because I want to get my shit together, first. I need more samples on my website (did two more the other day and I'll be doing two more today - I'll get feedback when I'm done and then upload them) and I'm trying to form the habit of working on my business daily so I can confidently show I'm committed. But once those samples are up and my site is finished (well, for now - there are always updates and improvements to be done periodically) I will stop holding myself back and reach out to a few agents. I won't stop until I've collected 5 No's! And even then - if they're all no, I'll reevaluate my materials and then keep going until I hit my Yes! I'm giving myself until the end of next week to have everything in order and then - PITCH LETTER TIME!
