Pininfarina Gabri’s rise to shame began the moment her father branded her with those five syllables. This great query connected her with her agent, Stacey Donaghy. With that in mind, I’m pleased to share today’s successful query from Kelly Siskind. Some people have the talent of being able to summarize their book in a few sentences, but for those who don’t, I wanted to provide a resource so writers could learn what works, and what doesn’t, in a query. In fact, I’ve heard more than a few authors say writing their query took them almost as long as drafting their book! Not only the actual process of sending out the letters/emails, but formulating the query itself. If you ask any writer about the process of connecting with their agent (or publisher), the majority will say the most difficult part was querying.
