I received an email reply from David Liss. I contacted him about his claim of 10% to 20% success rate on queries. I argued that the prevalence of email and webform submissions where in the agent asks for a partial manuscript with the query would skew his statistics. He was unconvinced by my arguments and stands by his range.
He did however admit that he has little to no experience with webform or email submissions.
This being the case, and knowing that I would guesstimate that I've sent over 50 partial manuscripts with my query, and am still hitting close to 10% with my query, I'm still feeling pretty comfortable.
