I'm originally from California, but recently I took a job in South Korea, and I've started to get back into writing again. I was actually becoming somewhat successful a decade ago, including having an agent (who kind of mysteriously disappeared off the radar until just recently...but that's another story, but she's no longer my agent), and then I kind of went into a hiatus mode for that decade. So now I'm back and writing up a storm (just finished my 12th novel), and of course, now I'm looking for a solid agent.
So, my question is how much of a stigma is there in emailing my queries, considering the cost of sending letters through the mail from Korea is completely prohibitive these days. Plus, I have yet to find a post office out here, although I'm sure they're here somewhere.
I know back in the day when I was originally writing, an email query probably would have been deleted on the spot; is that still the case these days? Or has that changed due to the fact that the rest of the world is now email happy?
