Using pop culture as a writing release
At AWP, I went to a panel that spoke about how writers used pop culture in their published work. They'd write as if they were the characters themselves or at least in that fictional universe.

For your new literary agent
When searching for a literary agent, some people think about only their query letter. But usually agents ask for more.
