Synopsis

John Wood sees it with numbing regularity: the query letter that comes close to making a sale - until the writer makes some fatal, but avoidable mistake.

So the Modern Maturity senior editor wrote this letter-writer's guidebook. Read it, learn from it, use its secrets to write queries that get accepted.

• why boldness beats blandness every time
• how to rocket your query right past the slush pile

• the 10 basics you must have in your article query
• the 10 query blunders that can ruin your chances
• how to dramatize your novel with a query/synopsis package
• what a book proposal is, why you need it, and how to write it

As you publish more, your professional correspondence will increase. Whether the correspondence is a complaint to your editor, a celebrity interview request or anything else connected with your career, you'll make it ring with style and professionalism with this book.

Wood includes chapter-ending Question & Answer sections that clarify issues concerning the type of letter at hand. He's also packed the book with illustrative samples. You'll see many that are pure dynamite - and one real bomb.
