Queries

Here’s a really good post on the Writer’s Digest blog written by Chuck Sambuchino,        titled, “Successful Queries: Agent Suzie Townsend and “A Death-Struck Year.”  He posts an actual query letter to agent Townsend and her comments on the query. This might give you an idea on how to prepare your own query letter.

But before you submit your query letter and manuscript, read another one of Sambuchino’s posts, “Polish Your Work Before Submitting: 6 Revision Tips.” It’s all about listening. Listening to (a) your critique group, (b) other authors, (c) writing teachers, (d) editors, (e) yourself, and (f) reviews. Read the entire post. Great advice.

I have a great critique group—actually two. They are fabulous writers, all published, with good insight and helpful comments. I do listen to their suggestions.

Be sure to visit me on Goodreads. Thanks. Have a great writing day!
