Query Letter Blues
Rating: 5 (2008-11-21)
I have spent no less than two-hundred hours scouring the internet for articles on how to write a query letter.
THE INFORMATION IN LUKEMAN'S BOOK IS THE CREAM OF THE CROP!
He graciously explains the basics while offering valuable tips that delve into the minds of those mystical creatures-- literary agents!
Thanks to HOW TO WRITE A GREAT QUERY LETTER, I feel extremely confident in the knowledge I've gained.
This book should be in every author's arsenal.
A useful and practical ebook
Rating: 5 (2008-11-11)
This is a very useful and practical ebook, because it not only details and reasons how to write such a letter from formatting to following up, but also reveals some astonishing facts, for example, a literary agent can receive 10,000 queries a year (pp. 5-6), 90% of all query letters are related to fiction (p. 38), and receive 10 rejections a day (p. 53). This short can serve as a handbook when writing a query.
Excellent!

This is a great little ebook. I can't believed it's being offered free of charge right now. I learnt a lot about not only writing great query letters, but business letters of any kind. Very useful and helpful advice. Excellent product.
A great how-to
Rating: 5 (2008-08-29)
I heartily recommend this thorough essay. I had minor quibbles with a couple of details because of the genre in which I write, but Mr. Lukeman addresses those quibbles right in the essay.
Do your research, he instructs. He outlines what to research and why, and anyone who follows that advice alone won't have to worry about if they've got it right for their specific genre.
If every writer followed the advice in this essay then we'd have happier, less busy agents. Be part of the solution. Download the essay and write better queries starting today!
