Resource Thursdays: Query Shark

Query letters – some people loathe them, some people write them for fun.  No matter what your stance on these letters, they are an important part of getting your writing noticed by agents and editors.  It’s crucial to remember, though, you can both get noticed for being horrendously bad and being amazingly good, and it’s the latter category that you should aim for.  To help keep you on track, check out the blog Query Shark.  This blog helps you learn by example – readers submit queries and the blog takes them apart, detailing what works and what doesn’t.  This is a great way to learn what catches someone’s attention and give you the edge in the market.  It’s worthwhile to visit Query Shark no matter what stage of the writing process you’re at.  Besides being a great tool, it’s a lot of fun to read.
