Is a query letter for editors written in the
same format as one for agents?
Yes.
Agents and editors all want to know the same thing about every writer who communicates with them. Can this person actually write, and do they have a saleable manuscript? Period. That's it! And, as I've said previously, I highly suggest you contact agents instead of editors. Unless, of course, you meet (or corner) an editor at a writers' conference, pitch your project and they ask for a query or partial manuscript submission. If they offer a contract, big woo-hoo for you! (Then get yourself an agent to help with negotiations and other events that occur as your manuscript moves along the path toward becoming a physical book.)
