Could I just ask those more experienced than I am what the etiquette is about querying more than one individual agent at an agency? I'm researching agents at the moment, and finding that in several cases, possibilities (based on their current list) are actually at the same agency.
I'm assuming it's never ok to simultaneously query agents at the same agency, but assuming Agent A has passed, is it acceptable to approach his/her colleague Agent B?
Thanks for any thoughts.
Oh, and a bonus question. Based on the age-old method of looking up your favourite authors-who-write-something-along-the-same-lines as you, I find that these agents are to a man/woman well-known and seem to have quite famous, established authors as clients. Is there any point in querying them, or is it realistic to try to search out less established agents who specifically say they're open to debut authors? The problem being that its harder to establish what they want, even if I can identify them, as I don't know their authors' work.
