Sending chapters to an agent

Hi everyone, just wondering what your thoughts are on sending chapters to an agent. My chapters could be quite short, or could be grouped together to be fairly long. Do I send 3 short chapters in the hope they want to read more, or 3 longer chapters to give them as much story as possible?

Thanks in advance

Well done Clare, sounds like you've been working really hard. I can't add to the good advice above but I wish you luck. :)
