What excellent advice! After nearly two years of subjecting my novel to a weekly, brutally honest critique group, I feel it’s ready to put it out there! I’m working (and reworking) the query letter. Thank you!

I’m so glad. I wish you the very best of luck and unwavering faith in your dreams. (I wish myself the same thing. lol. Some days go better than others. :))

We writers need a shoulder to cry on AND a light at the end of the tunnel and you provided both. Thank you for sharing!

When I started querying 2 years ago, I had many rejections. Unfortunately, I listened to my writers group who told me to keep querying. I did for a while…then decided I had to take yet another look at everything. The entire ms, not just the query letter. I’ve since rewritten my book, and it’s 200% better. Soon I’ll start the query process again, and will make sure my query letter includes your suggested format.

I haven’t even started the stage of looking for an agent (and have no idea how to do that), but your article provides some really clear, practical steps that I can start on right now. Thank you, thank you! πŸ™‚
