Personally I would never re-send to any publishing professional who already passed regardless of how changed the revision. I'd only query with a brand new manuscript. And yes, always revise a-plenty before querying anything to anyone.

Now I can't imaging letting my agent read something without my CPs vetting it first! But I also find it interesting that Mary says you get a second chance. There were several projects I rewrote, but I wasn't brave enough to resend to the same agents again. I wonder if it would have made a difference? Although I don't really care now since I found my right match :).Michelle Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00180842477967297259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-77963179683393728862019-02-26T09:50:59.960-05:002019-02-26T09:50:59.960-05:00If only I had a time machine to two years ago!
