I never expected to have my email box flooded with all that nasty sniping! That poor agent! She makes a decision for her business and then gets slammed. Sheesh! <BR/>Anyway, thats for the vote of confidence over my Bookends entry. I can only hope.<BR/>:)Aimlesswriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03012050763172251381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24980911.post-66922676329932868162008-03-21T11:14:00.000-04:002008-03-21T11:14:00.000-04:00Wow, Aimless, I lef a comment earlier on PubRants ...Wow, Aimless, I lef a comment earlier on PubRants blog about no more snail mail, but did not go back until now.<BR/><BR/>Lots of idiot trolls getting nasty over there. Jeesh.<BR/><BR/>I still say that email has a informal level of intimacy that snail mail doesn't (not to mention the spam block)- I see agents like Nathan (rightly) complain about queriers who write back after he rejects them, they try to start a whiny arguement - a dialogue - all which could be avoided by his using snail mail.<BR/><BR/>By all means, agents need to live in the 21rst Century, but I think email communication should only be between agents and established clients. I think it's very telling that Agent Jonathan Lyons switched to an online submission form as opposed to email - my guess more agents will adopt that format and get away from e-queries. <BR/><BR/>I just removed my email from my blog. Too many people I don't know at all were presuming a certain level of intimacy, and were contacting me out of the blue asking me to read their (really bad) work. Who has time for that? Not me.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, my money's on you to win the thriller contest.Josephine Damianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17952030380866201241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24980911.post-37752786354708431952008-03-20T09:44:00.000-04:002008-03-20T09:44:00.000-04:00This is why I don't visit places like that. Nothin...This is why I don't visit places like that. Nothing against her blog--I think it's a great service, But why do people feel the need to get so bent out of shape/nasty over something so trivial???Erica Orloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415925758466527671noreply@blogger.com
