I've just done some research on how to write a query letter. Whew!!! A lot of pressure to perfect a 1 page letter to an editor. If you don't get their attention in the first line, your letter will go directly to the reject pile.
I should know, I sent out 94 and received 94 rejections.
My query letter was not professional.
So back to the drawing board.
I have a great story that I believe could be a great seller, but how do I convey this in 1 small page?
Also, what about experience, awards, etc. I don't have much in the writing realm with awards, but I suppose that personal and professional experience and awards will work.
There is a ton of samples out there, if you are struggling to write a query letter.
I have some samples as well as dos and don'ts.
I will post my query letter as a sample if it becomes successful enough to get a literary agent to want to work with me.
Wish me luck!
