Hey guys, quick question. Is it cool to follow up on a query? Or if they don't request it, just assume that they don't want it? I think it's cool to follow up on a manuscript, but is it cool to follow up on a query? Or does that just annoy people? Thanks!!

I usually follow up after two to three weeks and they tend to come back with (if they do respond), "it's not for us." I then go back and say, "Are you looking for something specific? I have another script."

I have nine finished scripts in seven different genres, so this sometimes leads to a request. It hasn't led to a sale, though...
