Getting Your Query Letter From Good to Great
}
One of the greatest challenges authors face is writing the dreaded query letter. How much is enough? How much is too much? What must be included? How can your query letter snag the acquisition editor’s attention and get your manuscript requested? Should you send sample chapters with the query? What can you do to make your query letter rise to the top of the pile? What are the mistakes you should avoid?
Editors from several publishing houses for fiction and nonfiction will answer your questions on query letters in this unique online seminar February 16. There is no fee to participate. Just subscribe to our free newsletter and you’ll be notified of this and future seminars. Send a blank email to author@brianhillanddeepower.com with subscribe in the subject. mailto:author@brianhillanddeepower.com?subject=subscribe
Getting Your Query Letter From Good to Great is presented by Brian Hill and Dee Power authors of The Making of a Bestseller: Success Stories From Authors and the Editors, Agents and Booksellers Behind Them and is part of an ongoing series of seminars focused on writers at http://www.BrianHillAndDeePower.com.

We are writers, not con artists. Far too much time is spent preparing queries and cover letters which would be better devoted to improving the quality of the manuscript. It is our work we sell. I, being a person of character and integrity with recognizable talent, am not for sale. Publishers can either judge me by the quality of my work or they can go to hell.

I feel the same way, Fred -- unfortunately a query or cover letter might be the only sample of your writing ability some of these schmucks ever see. If it's badly written, or there's not one at all, in the round file goes your manuscript. This happened to me a few times more than I'd like to admit, before I learned to write professional query and cover letters. Signings are selling, too. It's all part of the game.

I'm in the game to win. Perhaps that's why I branched into publishing where I can make my own rules. I only read completed works and am necessarily more interested in the manuscript than the person who wrote it.

You know darned well what I'm saying. I'm talking about packaging the writer and selling him/her as a commodity. It is a brazen act to prostitute oneself. Is there no shame? Or do the ends justify the means?

One thing I learned is that if you strictly follow the guidelines that "Writer's Digest" gives you for writing a query, your query will look axactly like everyone else's. Your query needs a hook just like the opening line of your book.

Fred,
I hear what you're saying and don't disagree. However, I think that is being a tad narrow in thinking.
There are standards to follow in every pursuit (military ceremonies, coin tosses at football games,eg.) and whether you like them or not you won't be allowed to "play" unless you follow the rule. This goes to "cutting off one's nose to spite one's face." Ouch!
Maybe, just maybe, it's why your fine writing is having trouble finding a publisher.Take a deep breath and loosen your belt, have a beer and write the damned query!

the biggest mistake (my estimation) writers make with the letter is they don't BRAG.
If a writer doesn't believe the work is the best thing since sliced bread and say so, the editor won't pay much attention to what is said.

Okay Fred, I get it,you're baiting me.
Fred there are 25 million people in the United States who call themselves writers. That's your competition. Each of us has to find a way to break through all that background noise and get the attention of publishers (and agents - but that's another seminar).
One of the risks that you face when you are published - by a publisher that actually gets your book in bookstores, to reviewers and in critics hands - is that the public may not buy, like, or consider your work well done. Is that what bothers you?

Dee... I can't speak for Fred but he needn't worry whether or not his work is market quality. Try reading some of his stuff on his website and you'll see what I mean.
I attended a lecture given by a literary agent in Florida and the question of query letters was raised. He explained it this way... He averages between 25 and 50 queries a day. His only contact with each writer at this point is the letter in front of him. Knowing that he can only handle a few manuscripts per week he has to decide on the basis of that letter which ones to consider and which ones to eliminate. He says it's simple. "If the query letter talks to me, the manuscript probably will too." He said the thing he looks for in query letters is "Voice."

I'm not worried about the quality of Fred's writing - or anyone else's for that matter.
You're exactly right, the query letter is the only sample an agent has to go on.
As part of the Editors and Agents Survey, for our book, The Making of a Bestseller, over 60 agents were asked how many unsolicited submissions they receive per week, and how many new clients they took on in the last year. Each agency, on average, received 90 unsolicited submissions per week. And each took on an average of 11 new clients a year. They agreed to represent a little more than 2 in 1000 of the authors who contacted them.
There is more about agents in an article we wrote for The Writer at

PublishAmerica tells us we are salesmen first, writers second. I disagree.
The agencies gave you inflated figures. Do the math. The truth is that many agents enjoy long lunches and work short hours. While it is their job to read manuscripts, the lazy ones prefer to judge writers on the basis of their query letters. How sad.
Yes, this is a competitive industry. It takes a while to get where you want to go. Shortcuts may occasionally get you there sooner, but is that the way you really want to go? If you put your heart into your creative labor, it will speak for itself.
I'm not a psychologist and I do not presume to be any smarter than the agent or publisher to whom I am sending the query letter. I write novels; they read manuscripts. Let's not pervert the natural order of things.

No, no, no, Harry. This is the way to do it.
I know it's too small to read, but it says, "Gentlemen, I have just completed my new novel. It is so good, I'm not even going to send it to you. Why don't you just come and get it?"
I have this taped to my monitor.
Fred, I actually (secretly--don't tell my publisher) agree with you, but I also fear you're living in a writer's utopia. One of these days when I'm rich and famous, I'll invest in your company.
BTW, I ordered The Gospel According to Condo Don today.

What does PublishAmerica have to do with this? They're not a publisher, they don't even read the manuscripts submitted to them.
The agencies gave you inflated figures. Do the math. The truth is that many agents enjoy long lunches and work short hours. While it is their job to read manuscripts, the lazy ones prefer to judge writers on the basis of their query letters. How sad.
It wasn't just one agency, or ten, it was nearly 100. And the figures aren't inflated. You have no idea how much dreck is out there. And if you can't write a good query letter, why would an agent think you could possibly write a good manuscript? The process is simple. Query letter entices agency to request chapters. The chapters are so fabulous the agent requests the manuscript. Agent falls in love with manuscript. Agent sells manuscript to major house for bzillions of dollars. Author happy. Agent happy. Publisher happy. And hopefully, although there is never a guarantee, readers are happy.
Yes, this is a competitive industry. It takes a while to get where you want to go. Shortcuts may occasionally get you there sooner, but is that the way you really want to go? If you put your heart into your creative labor, it will speak for itself.
Please explain how a query letter is a shortcut. My first query letter got me a contract for my first book. Why is that negative?
My goal is to get from point A (unpublished) to point B (published.) If a shortcut gets me to my destination faster, why is that bad?
And if I knew of a way to get my novel published by a major house, why wouldn't I take it?
I'm not a psychologist and I do not presume to be any smarter than the agent or publisher to whom I am sending the query letter. I write novels; they read manuscripts. Let's not pervert the natural order of things.
Why is a query letter a perversion?

Joyce,
Thank you very much for buying a copy of The Gospel According to Condo Don. However, for those of you who due cannot afford to purchase a copy, you may read it online for free at http://www.fdungan.com/sent.htm. All of my published work can be accessed at no cost on my website at http://www.fdungan.com. Since I went to school on the GI Bill at taxpayer expense, I feel it is the least I can do to repay my fellow citizens whom I know to be the most generous and giving people in the world.
Dee,
I have nothing against your book perse. I do believe, however, that the game is fixed and the only way to beat the house is to become the publishing house. As for statistics, they all too often reflect the biases of the people who compiled them. However, for the sake of argument, I will accept your numbers since they show that the plight of a well-crafted manuscript is even more dire than I would have predicted.
How many of the writers on this forum have their work purchased by more than a handful of people? Yes, getting published and making money is important, but establishing a readership base is even more important. My heart goes out to those of you who poured your souls into your work, only to have it rejected by a moron who didn't even bother to read it.
I play to win. Either they accept my complete manuscript or I go elsewhere. I sell my creative labor. My immortal soul belongs to the Almighty and is not for sale at any price.

Writing a query letter makes me extremely uncomfortable --- Some people just aren't comfortable with sales, especially sales of themselves or something they've created.
However, I know query letters are necessary, and my opinion isn't going to change anything, but I think reviewing chapters of the book are a much more sensible way to find talent. It can't really take that much longer to read twenty pages than a query letter. Yes, it will take a little longer, but there's much less chance of passing up a good book. I can tell you a lot more about a book from the first chapter or so (yes, I do open books to the middle and see if they're still written as well as the first few pages before I buy them) than from the synopsis or a letter.
Of course, I'm not a publisher or agent, just a reader, and I would never choose a book based on the author's "pitch". Synopsis, yes. "Pitch", no. I'm only investing $5-$10 on the book though, so I don't stand to lose as much as publishing companies do.
My last query letter to AIB consisted of "I'm sending this before I burn it". Of course, I'm at a different stage of the whole publishing game with AIB than if I were trying to get them to look at my work for the first time.

In Hollywood when I was there, and I suppose it's not much different today, multi-million-dollar deals were made on a "pitch." Ideas were what the producers wanted to hear, they didn't want to read a 120-page script. Scripts were sent to their readers -- then a synopsis was sent back to the big shots. Oh, sometimes an orignal screenplay got read, and was possibly purchased because a big mucky-muck liked it -- but most of the time it was the "pitch" that cinched the deal. Producers won't waste their time reading every single script that crosses their desks. A screenwriter's "pitch" is Hollywood's version of a novelist's query letter it seems. Heck, I've seen movies made where the producer has never read the script; though he may have had someone read it to him.

That's the job I want! I want to read scripts to producers. I'll tuck them in at night, give them their blankee and a glass of warm milk. By Hollywood standards that should be worth about 100 K a year and I won't have to do much.
Cool. Maybe I could read to big stars too! I'd love the job of reading to, say, Julia Roberts at night. How do I apply?

"I know it's too small to read, but it says, "Gentlemen, I have just completed my new novel. It is so good, I'm not even going to send it to you. Why don't you just come and get it?"
Why should I need to write a query letter? They should be begging for my manuscript! But where are they?
Luckily there are publishers that also request a few chapters, or at least a few pages along with a query letter. They are the ones I try first.
It seems like a difficult job to judge a novel from a query letter alone. |

"It seems like a difficult job to judge a novel from a query letter alone."
After the query letter is sent off, the writer usually gets a reply -- if they liked your query letter, they usually ask for a manuscript or a few chapters; of they were not impressed, you may never even get the courtesy of a reply.

"Bill, when do you go on tour?"
As soon as Lucifer comes for his soul, Joyce.
I tend to agree with Fred though. A query letter isn't much to go on and you could be passing up a really good story. The first three chapters would be the best bet and if you didn't like the story after the first five pages you didn't have to read the rest. If you can't hook the agent in the first few pages then there would be a good chance you wouldn't hook the reading public. To much could slip through the cracks the other way, in my opinion.
