Usually I frequent AbsoluteWrite.com, which I'd have to say has taught me a ton about agents and querying.<BR/><BR/>Although more on the mark and definitely improved, I still think my query letter is lacking. I continue to rework it, although I'm feeling frustrated with it, again. <BR/><BR/>So, I'm working up the courage to head over to QT for help, but I must admit it's a terrifying thought. <BR/><BR/>My present version, after your helpful post, did generate two rejections that were not form rejections, which is a step up for me, but of course not the goal in the end.<BR/><BR/>Just big thanks again. : )<BR/><BR/>EmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-62708391928422490762009-01-26T22:38:00.000-05:002009-01-26T22:38:00.000-05:00Thanks so much!

The best site for query help and tracking around is Querytracker.net. I highly HIGHLY recommend it. The main site helps you find agents and lets you track your queries (which was just a life saver for me, because I didn't keep very close track before), and the forum is just incredible. Lots of wonderful writers willing to help. You can post your query for feedback and just meet a lot of great people. Good luck with the querying!!!Michelle McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-51087860859382126082009-01-26T21:34:00.000-05:002009-01-26T21:34:00.000-05:00Thank you for this post!

I finally get it!<BR/><BR/>A writing friend of mine sent me the link to your post, and after reading it, I just wrote the best query letter I've ever written.<BR/><BR/>Finally. : )<BR/><BR/>The query is the only aspect of writing I abhor, as it leaves me in agony. I can't thank you enough.<BR/><BR/>EmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-22660999213596558682009-01-17T22:48:00.000-05:002009-01-17T22:48:00.000-05:00This has been very helpful to me.
