When Not to Query or Pitch
Posted on September 6th, 2011 2 commentsIf you have a query letter all ready to go and you are itching to send it off to an agent or have a pitch all sparkly and new for an editor… hold off. According to MediaBistro (this article includes most popular vacation dates) you should wait about another two weeks for the optimal receipt. Why? Folks are still on vacation. And then when they get back… well, they have some catching up to do. So, take a deep breath, move your finger off the send button and spend the next two weeks working on something new.
Enjoy!

Good advice! Makes complete sense to me – that catch up period is always about getting through stuff quickly & chucking stuff that you can!

That’s the way I feel too–lots to do? Barrel through and look for the easy-to-toss stuff just to get the pile down.
