How to...

write a query.

A useful nugget:
Describe the book you've written as though you're telling a friend about a great book they'll want to read right now.

    Nice point! It takes some confidence to promote your own work.

    Yes, I'd never thought of it that way. I think enthusiasm is the key.

    Lots and lots of enthusiasm. And the ability to let negative comments roll off you. And then perserverence.

    The more I research queries and agents, the more it seems like good querying is based around common sense. On one hand, this is promising for me because apparently most people haven't got it; On the other hand, how can I be so sure that *I* do? ;)
