I was able, after writing a letter, making a call, sending the first 50 pages then sending the entire manuscript secure her as my agent. I am currently working on a rewrite based upon her notes. Yeah!
How to have Nicole Aragi as my literary agent.
How I did it: Called and spoke to her assistant and sold myself...then got the okay to send a query letter...A very difficult task! Worked FOREVER on the query letter. Then got the okay to send the first 50 pages. Then got the okay to send the entire manuscript. Before I sent it I went through it and took a bunch of things out...very, very quickly. Then I got the okay that she wanted to be my agent. I felt like I'd won the lottery.
Lessons & tips: Persistence works. Holding a vision works.
