Writing Query Letters

A query letter should be short, never more than a single page long.
Four paragraphs and a closing should be sufficient, especially if you
have a great idea. It’s been said that if you can’t pitch the work in
a sentence or two it will be hard to sell. We think complex works can
be sold… but it isn’t easy.

The general format of a query letter is:

• Connection or introduction;
• Story pitch;
• Author biography and credentials; and
• Contact information.
