Literary Guide editor shares formula for writing a 3-paragraph query letter

Filed Under Publishing tips

In exploring the various Writer’s Digest blogs, after completing yesterday’s post about Brian Klems’ discussion of ways to locate the names of literary agents who have represented books in your field, I discovered another extremely useful Writer’s Digest blog response to a reader’s question

In a recent post entitled Breaking Down the Query Letter on his Guide to Literary Agents Editor’s Blog, Chuck Sambuchino concisely describes a simple 3-paragraph formula authors can follow for crafting query letter to agents. I was impressed by the logic of Chuck’s structure. Chuck’s formula simplifies a task that can sometimes cause authors weeks of unnecessary delays making the agent connections they need to obtain competent and enthusiastic representation.

With a formula this simple to follow, there’s no excuse not to get started today on the hunt for an agent to represent your book!
