Re: 'First three chapters'

Hi all again -

Just realised, after phoning every potential agent in the yearbook over the past few days, that '3 chapters' can vary from novel to novel. For me, it is about 4,500 words (as I said above), but some agents have said '3 chapters, or 30-50 pages or so', which implies a certain length of those chapters. My 3 chapters come up to about 23 pages double spaced and so on.

Is this something I should contact the agents about again, or are my 3 chapters likely to be sufficient for those agents that specify, well, 3 chapters?

I have read some books that have a chapter per page, for instance...

Thanks
