The Best Query Writing Advice

[image error]


Next week, I'll be critiquing 1-page query letters as part of a live, online class. You
can sign up here.




I only do this a couple times a year, so if you have a query NOW, here's your chance
for a professional review and edit.



There's a ton of conflicting advice out there about what should go in a query, what
should NOT go in a query, etc.




Here are previous posts on queries (from my blog and Writer's Digest) that I highly
recommend:



How
to Ensure 75% of Agents Will Request Your Material (by Marcus Sakey)




Breaking
Down the Query Letter by Chuck Sambuchino (Guide to Literary Agents blog)



5 Query
Letter Tips from Chuck Sambuchino (this is a quick one, but important one)



And here are my favorite posts from OTHERS that I agree with:



How
to Write a Query Letter by agent Nathan Bransford



How
to Write a Query Letter by agent Rachelle Gardner





The GOLDEN Resource


Don't forget to follow Chuck's series on Successful
Queries — you can read queries that actually worked in landing an agent or deal.



Also: You can submit your query to the QueryShark if
you're brave enough to see an agent dissect your query in public view.



If you would like MY professional, hands-on help, sign
up for my class next week.
