Listen Later

Welcome to our Books & Such podcast! We're so glad that you're here with us.  

According to literaryagent.com, the average literary agent can read 11,000 queries before finding a project that stands out for representation. Far too many hopeful authors are writing ineffective query letters. We want to help you avoid that! How can you write a query that grabs our attention?

 In this first episode, we discuss the factors that compel us to dig into your query letters.

  • How important is your title?
  • How long should your query letter be?
  • What should you include in your query?

 Our goal is give you valuable insights as well as practical guidance to help you write high quality, attention-grabbing queries. We also tell you what to avoid and much more!
