Could I finally have a query letter an agent will like? I sure hope so.
Funny thing – I’ve now read hundreds of messages and letters and blogs all describing how to write a query letter, and no one agrees about a damned thing except “make it perfect!” Well, yeah, obviously one would want to send in a query as free of sloppiness as possible, but that’s only the tip of the ice berg.
But after this minor point, it seems advice varies. The big problem is that almost all the suggestions actually make a lot of sense. Some agents even specify the type of letter they are looking for, so no boiler plates.
Anyway, I’ll soon be getting some feedback on my query, and if it passes the sniff test then I’m ready to commit.
Progress.
