So much emphasis seems to get placed on two things: having a very succinct "hook," and having pub credits.<BR/><BR/>I had neither in the query that landed me my agent. Rather, my letter was very much as you describe.<BR/><BR/>It ran to just slightly over one page--another "must not" I've seen touted everywhere. Better, though, to focus on the "must" list:<BR/><BR/>Must be professional<BR/>Must be compelling<BR/><BR/>A short list, and your post today proves how easily it can be done.Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01915740239016736614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-38701518424831465002007-07-03T09:45:00.000-04:002007-07-03T09:45:00.000-04:00dear amy,thank you for this simple, yet thorough p...dear amy,<BR/><BR/>thank you for this simple, yet thorough presentation on the query letter. <BR/><BR/>i've just returned from a week-long novel workshop in san francisco, and the instructor, a well-noted writer, encouraged us to query an agent, even if we thought we didn't have enough of a 'publication background' to do so. <BR/><BR/>since then, i've been coming across information about agents, and the querying process. perhaps it's time for me to leap.olufunke grace bankole:https://www.blogger.com/profile/12770537948565532234noreply@blogger.com
