And if — as many amateur or fraudulent agents do — the agent uses obviously unprofessional
methods (submitting substandard or inappropriate material, «blitz» submitting to a dozen or more editors at once, using form letters, using the client's own query letter, including a «marketing» plan with a
novel submission, «bundling» several queries in a single
submission... the list goes on) the editor will immediately tag them as questionable and toss their
submission aside.
