A Successful Query: Part 1

Sometimes, I just have a hard time coming up with good ideas for blogging.  As I've said, I started this blog to help others hopefully wade through the research faster.  There's so much out there.  So many helpful resources.  I wish I could somehow list them all here.  At least I can pass along one tidbit at a time.

Today's tidbit involves a good query letter.  Lord knows I've yet to really write one I know for certain works.  Here is a proven one on the Writers Digest site.  The book is called Not a Drop to Drink and it's by Mindy McGinnis.  I don't know much about the book but the query is considered successful because it got her an agent.  The post gives the actual query and has a part at the end where the agent tells what she liked about it.

Queries are hard.  I've talked about that in this blog before.  It helps to know what strikes an agent's fancy.  Good luck writing your own.
