Good column, but most of these things cost money. Queries, at least, are still free.

Chuck: I agree, too. I always read when I see your name. Great tips to absorb and save. That I learned is that you have to target your market, especially with word count. My too long novel has a great plot, but too long. After I finish the current WIP, it's on my bucket list. Thank you.

I was very nervous the first time I pitched an agent, but by the third time I wasn't so nervous. Pitching is an excellent way to explain your story and the agent can see your passion. 10 minutes though goes by quickly so maybe double up on the pitch time. I did take a webinar with a critique for my query and the agent said that if she represented the genre of my story she would request to see it. You just have to remember that it's kind of the luck of the draw on how an agent feels when your query hits their inbox.
