As you know more and more agents and editors lately want the initial query to be via email and they are asking that the sample of your work be pasted into the body of your email . . . as opposed to being forwarded as an attachment. . . . my question is this . . . What should I do when the agent does not specify their preference for putting the sample chapters in the body of the email? Have things evolved to the point where it is now the default practice to put the sample writing in the body of the email . . . If they do not specifically say to put it in the body of the email, is it OK to attach it to the email? . . . Thanks for any guidance you can give me here.
