So during more downtime today, what did I do? I went back to agentquery.com to check out all the other cool information they offer. I decided to take a look at some of the query samples they suggest. This led me to a cool blog written by Heather Brewer.
Heather is a cool young author who used AQ to land an agent and publisher for her YA book called The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Eighth Grade Bites. It’s due out in paperback on March 13th, and I predict this will be quite the popular book among young adults. The cover alone looks awesome!
And guess what? Heather lives right here in St. Louis where I do. Small world! Heather is promoting herself on her blog, offering give aways, and also handing out advice on writing and publishing. She inspired me to take a second look at my query letter and chop it down a bit. Thanks, Heather!
Check out Heather’s blog and pre-order her book today!
Oh, and check out my cool little writing progress meter over there on the right side of the blog. I swiped that idea from Heather too. Hope she doesn’t mind!

Hey! Thanks for the mention

And stick with it–querying is rough, but an important part of the process. You can do it!
