You could even add a theme song: "If I Had a Hammer." :)<br /><br />In my case, all my life people glance at my name too quickly and assume my last name is a first name and start calling me Barry instead of Rick.

Mr. Terry Burns sounds nice though.<br />About people following our guidelines, it's an everyday frustration to me. And of course we also get them addressed to "Dear Agent" or "to Whom it may concern" and I get "Dear Mrs Hartline" I sure wish people would look at our guidelines and then check out our agents.Joyce Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511797957546725877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-79913462607962052862014-08-07T14:14:01.386-04:002014-08-07T14:14:01.386-04:00Oh, I understand your pain, Terry.

I often get submissions addressed to Mr., or the sender will think that I have misspelled my own name and they will correct it to read "Vic." <br /><br />I enjoyed reading your post.Vie Herlockernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-68619433582973885792014-08-07T12:38:07.128-04:002014-08-07T12:38:07.128-04:00Proud to know you Mr. Terry Burns :-)Proud to know you Mr. Terry Burns :-)Diana Flegalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373354354968232390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-68216416786525534392014-08-07T12:09:06.278-04:002014-08-07T12:09:06.278-04:00Hi Linda,

My parents named me Jacquelin...Hi Mr. Terry Burns,<br /><br />My parents named me Jacqueline Elizabeth, but I've always been called Jackie. When I was small the neighbors had a big college boy named Jackie also. I couldn't believe my parents gave me a boy's name. For years I thought when I grew up I'd change my name to Jennifer. <br /><br />Not to make a political statement, but when I was old enough to figure out who Jackie Kennedy was, I was so grateful to see a beautiful woman named Jackie that I gave up my dream of changing my name.<br /><br />I'm impressed you're gracious enough to send requests addressed to Ms. Burns to other agents instead of trashing them. Very nice.<br /><br />I hope you have a great day!Jackie Laytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921544145225306649noreply@blogger.com
