Hey Nathan,
Seeking advice on personalizing query letters. How much info should we reveal about the research we've done on a particular agent? I don't want to seem like a stalker and have bullet points from every sentience I think is relevant from their last interview, but I don't want to be too vague. Seems to me a paragraph should suffice but if I want to quote them it might go a little longer, and that's before I even pitch the project. Any tips?
Go Lakers this Tuesday!

Re: Query Question - How Personal is Too Personal?
I think it's not so much about revealing too much research as much as it's important not to assume too much familiarity. I'd try to keep things casual but not overzealous, if that makes sense. But it's not easy to say specifically what or what not to do.
