Our agency has a relatively large sample size for our queries (50 pages). Sometimes I read to the end of this sample before requesting, sometimes I request after just a few pages. What's the difference? #amquerying
Some voices are so strong that I just must must read more of them. This is usually when I will request right away (but I always double review the query and synopsis to make sure I think they can stick the landing) #amquerying
And some I'm more on the fence about. But I am lucky to have a large enough size to see if they can pull me in. But based on how many I have to review, if it isn't clicking by page 20 I tend to reject. Keep this in mind when you're revising for subs! #amquerying
Also, keep in mind that many agencies don't request as much as we do! Your opening pages should be really strong and reflective of the whole project. If "you must get to p 100 before you will get the project" why aren't you starting your story there?
