Hi guys,
this is more a cry for help really. In the last couple of months I have sent query letters to about 100 agents and managers combined - only by email though. I got 5 replies, entirely from managers, requesting to read my script. A couple of them passed since then, still waiting to hear from the rest though.
I know that I have a good premise (or I like to think I do) and my query letter is about 3/4 of a page - to my understanding that's a good length.
However I hear that people from this msg board have 20%-25% success with queries, even from agents in big companies.
Is anyone willing to give some advice on query letters?
Any chance I can use your query letter as the basis for mine?
Do you think it's the email thing the reason I am not getting enough rejections? hehe - Seriously, shall I query them by snail mail?
I'd love to exchange experiences, letters etc. Any help on this will be highly appreciated. We can PM each other, if that's what you prefer.
Many thanks
