Let's talk about the query letter

There are four parts to the query letter. The first give the logistics: the working title, the word count, and who your targeted audience will be--your platform.

The second contains the blurb with a good hook. Think of what will be written on the back of the book. You have to hook that agent.

The third is about you: your interests or jobs IF THEY RELATE TO THE BOOK. You also tell them your writing credits or any awards you have won.

The fourth is the hardest. You have to work and research to do this. You explain why your book would be a good fit with that agent or agency.

Thank you for reading my query,

your name
