Just a note about query subject lines. I took a colon out of my subject line because it was getting caught by too many spam filters. Two agencies I queried gave me instant bounce-backs. The agency who requested my full informed me they'd fished the query out of their junk mail. After some research, wondering if the bounce backs were still solvent, etc. I figured it out. I removed the colons and the queries went through. I'd strongly recommend leaving colons out.
Hi Kate, I have gleaned so much great information for you over the last few months. I wanted to express a supersized thank you! That's all!
