why *IS* a query letter so hard to write?

It’s a piece of sales writing. And that requires a different set of writing skills than the ones you’ve honed to write a book. Be patient with yourself as you’re learning. With practice, you’ll become more comfortable with each part of the query letter, and maybe you’ll even find them fun someday. Until then, it’s a good idea to workshop your pitch.

Ready to throw down a new query or proposal? This little package is for those of you who have a completed project that you’re about to jettison into the market. It’s more than just a critique. It’s a conversation about your pitch and sample pages.
