So this time around sending my new shiny out to agents, I've noticed a rise in the "one for all" submissions email address. As in,
Send your three chapters and a cover letter to: submissions.at.awesomesauce.com
First of all, how is the correct way to start one of these things? Coz all that Dear Sir/Madaam stuff gets a bad rep, but I can't exactly personalise the sucker if it could be picked up by six or more agents/assistants.
Is the answer that I'm over thinking this, and these agencies don't want any personalisation? Coz I've noticed a bit of a decline in my request rates, namely from these sorts of agencies, and wondering if I'm doing something really wrong!
Should I be FAO-ing them?
I much prefer to personalise each letter. Any advice, oh sage and world wise experts?
