I read in "Getting Published" by Harry Bingham that the most important aspect is your manuscript, and the most important part of that is the opening. You must grab the reader's attention from the outset and keep it. BUT THEN... I watched some agents being interviewed on YouTube. It's actually a different story. They first scan the blurb or synopsis, and if it doesn't appear publishable from that, the manuscript goes on the slush pile. Be warned! Work hard on your accompanying material!
