She's really fast." But when I checked that agent's website or Agent Query listing, it didn't say she was looking for YA. I took my friend's advice a couple of times and my query was met with a quick, polite "no thanks" while many of the agents I'd carefully researched said, "Yes, please, send more..." Daphne's right.
