  3. Jessica, just coming over from Matt's blog. Loved your query letter -- I thought it was strong on many levels. I couldn't agree more with you when you said agents should always solicit the first couple chapters with the query. The quality of the fiction should weigh heavier than the strength of a query letter.

    I didn't realize you had a full MS request! My fingers are crossed for you. The waiting must be agony. Hang in there!

    ((hugs)) Nicole
