Miss Snark's Best Snarks

Some of my favorite tidbits of advice and questions answered from the week of Miss Snark:

Dear Miss Snark: What on earth does an agent mean when she asks "for first refusal on representation for a month after receiving it." Is this just another way of asking for an exclusive reading?

Why agents don't write specific responses to each query.

Dear Miss Snark: I'm preparing my query letter. I have several non-fiction publications, but no fiction. I have written two novel length fanfiction pieces that received a large number of positive reviews. Would it be appropriate to include the web address and pen name in the letter?

Dear Miss Snark: would my using a pseudonym make it even harder for me to get an agent?
