Speaking of dubious advice to budding novelists, I wanted to ask somebody about this:

A well-respected and best-selling fiction teacher suggested sending the first chapter of an unfinished novel to an agent.

I can't imagine that this would do anything other than waste the agent's time and irritate them, but I'd be curious as to what you, Mr. and Ms. Nielsen-Hayden, would have to say about it.
