With my latest revision of my YA novel done and the manuscript looking the best it ever has, my mind has turned from editing to the query and synopsis. Both daunting tasks.
To help you out in your future research, here are a few of the best sites I've found to help you with queries (and next week we'll tackle the fear-inducing synopsis).
Want the agent's perspective to queries? Check out the Nelson Agency blog: nelsonagency.com/pubrants here, agent Kristin Nelson shares her current music tunes, publishing advice, and (if you follow the queries label) successful queries that won her heart.
If you want another agent perspective without the niceties of a Midwestern childhood, drive into the chum bucket at Janet Reed's hit blog Query Shark. queryshark.blogspot.com. View the archives, read mistakes and triumphs by other writers and even submit your own query for critique by the shark herself.
Finally, for great query advice, look no farther than Writer's Digest. writersdigest.com. Their bloggers and article writers write often about how to create successful queries, but what sets them apart is their "Successful Queries" series. So, check out the website and get your subscription - it will aid your craft.
