Queries!
I'm trying to break down the process of submitting queries about my recently completed novel, and I know a couple of you are querying too or have recently, so I thought I'd post something for discussion! Below are a few resources I've found or been referred to over the past couple weeks - what else do you use? If you've been through this before, what did you learn from the process?
Resources:
Sample successful query letters with agent's commentary (link)
Association of Authors' Representatives - searchable by genre! (link)
Ploughshares Blog (link, link)
Publisher's Marketplace (link)
Also, I'm doing dry runs at writing the "blurb" part of the query and posted a few to my journal if anyone wants to take a look and comment! By all means post some of your own below or to your journals if you'd like.
