Hrm...
(cross-posted to blatantlyhonest)
Okay, I suck at this agency research stuff...anyone (and here I am thinking of Desuvan and Saraphina) know anything about Scribe Literary Agency, or the agents Khristopher O'Higgins and Jesse Vogel? They look like they might be right up my alley, but I want to be sure that we haven't got it on good authority they use their agency as a way to collect addresses of likely people to kidnap and sell as slave labor in the Bahamas or something. Any suggestions of where to hunt for information on agents? Publisher's Marketplace has nothing on them, but that doesn't necessarily mean much...
Also, and I realize I may have wasted paper as I write this, I can't decide whether email or paper query is the best method...their submissions guidelines seem to suggest they prefer email, but I am uncertain. And how do I address a cover letter to an agency when they don't tell me who to specifically address? Messrs. O'Higgins and Vogel? To whom it may concern? "Guys Who Decided to Be Vague"?
Any thoughts would be appreciated; I'll be emailing them as well, and I may not get the sub out to them this week if I go with paper, as that requires more black ink than I think I have in the cartridge (replacements will be procured, have no fear). Thanks guys!
