[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Second what all the published authors say. Listen to the Sh#t noone tells you about writing podcast to learn about the query letter and opening pages. It's not enough to write an amazing book, you have to write a killer query letter to even get agents to read your ms. [/quote] that is not entirely true. I worked as an agent for 10+ years and I ignored most of the stuff in the letters, it was the manuscript that I focused on. If the letter was a long ramble dropping names and such, it was off putting. A simple "here's my script, thanks for reading" I'd breathe a sigh of relief.[/quote]
