From the website of Mike Wells
Mike provides a detail list of the steps and actions to take on the way to landing an agent. A short outline of the steps pre-work looks like this: Is your book complete. Is it the right length? Is your manuscript polished? And last but most important — Are you sure you need an agent? If so then the work does not stop. 1 – Write a Strong Query Letter, 2 – Build Your Query List, 3 – Send Out Your Queries, 4 – Adjust Your Query/Manuscript (may not be necessary), 5 – Sign the Contract and Celebrate!
Of course there is a lot more to each of these elements and that’s why I suggest your go to Mike’s website to get all her expertise.
