I assume Connor just wants to read the synopsis of the book and maybe a short author's bio? <br /><br />Every agent seems to prefer a different approach, which makes this process hard. Some also want a one-paragraph summary about the marketing plan or the author's platform or an outline. And, how about the market and a personalized introduction. Obviously, I'm still struggling with my query letter, so please sign me up for that free critique. :-)Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-19323608173049806332019-07-19T07:54:35.334-04:002019-07-19T07:54:35.334-04:00Thanks for the great interview and nice to meet yo...Thanks for the great interview and nice to meet you!
