On the internet, I read all kinds of advice on how to attract an agent's attention. They all say I have to make my proposal quirky or unusual just to make them pay attention to me.

I say, why should I? If I write a great novel, why should I demean it by making up some kind of rediculous query just to get an agent to read it? What happened to the traditional concept of a partnership between a writer and his or her agent?
