From Telling to Selling

What are the two most terrifying words to writers? If you’re thinking “IRS Audit,” or “root canal,” you’d be close, but no cigar. The terror-cold sweats-chocolate-craving words? “Query letter.” Did your heart rate just increase dramatically? If so, take a deep breath! Be assured you can learn to write an effective query letter. The Query Letter Wizard is here to help you. Whew!

What’s coming on this blog will be information to help you get over “query letter terror” and learn to write one that works. Since the query letter is only part of the process of getting published, you’ll be given other necessary information covering agents, the publishing biz, and the vital sales docs you will have to write, including the synopsis, first page and/or book proposal.

That’s right, these are sales documents. What the heck? You’ll be learning to make the mind shift from story “teller” to story “seller.” That understanding, along with some practice, will help you sell an agent on your writing skills and the fabulous-sity of your manuscript.

So, welcome to the brief, but intense, learning curve! You can get through it. I’ll help you.

Want more info on the query, right this very minute? Check out The Wizard’s cyber school, http://www.getpublishednow.biz/ where there’s lots of helpful information, including a monthly Query Club newsletter, monthly free tele-classes and discounts on evaluation services.

Thanks for dropping by.

Poof! (I’m gone)
