Well, I sent out the first two queries yesterday to agents who were listed as new agents in tweets by Writer's Digest. They both specifically listed women's fiction, which is always good (as opposed to general commercial fiction). I read interviews they each gave, and they seem super cool. I read through their client lists, but didn't recognize anyone outright. I love checking out those lists because - hurray! - new authors to read!
One thing: My novel is about first-time mothers, and one character's baby has the same name as one of the agents I queried last night. Will that be weird? I didn't do it as a ploy, it's just coincidence. And she's a good baby, not a villain, so there's that. :)
Anyway, two down ... who knows how many to go. I'd like to keep a steady schedule of querying, maybe one a day? Two? I'll just have to play it by ear.
