Query Letter
Hi, having researched endlessly, listened to hours of agent-querying podcasts, I've trimmed my query letter to a slim 320 words in three sections: necessary background on the book (including comps), the blurb (starting with a 29-word one-sentence pitch/hook), and a bit about me. I have not yet started querying, but it won't be long. My question is, do I try something a little different at the start of the email? Instead of the usual Dear 'Agent', I'm seeking representation for etc...I'm considering Dear 'Agent', followed immediately by a ten-word hook line, and then the I'm seeking representation for etc...
Thoughts on the immediate 10-word hook approach, please? Thanks Mark
