Why My First Query Letter Failed

Query letter, love letter, or creepy stalker letter? You decide.

For most authors, query letters are right up there with required edits and enemas…they’re pains in the arse. In theory, query letters are easy; they’re straight-forward descriptions of your project peppered with a little marketing info and a few other nuggets. In reality, they’re all-important one-page documents on which the future of the manuscript that you’ve shed blood, sweat, and tears over rides. No pressure.
