Query Letter Basics

A query letter may also be called a pitch letter. Their whole purpose is to entice readers to want to know more. Make sure that they're no longer than a single page and focus on being descriptive without sharing every single detail.

An effective query letter follows standard business letter format, offers a great lead in sentence, showcases why your particular story idea is relevant and is persuasive without being pushy.

Additionally, you'll want to be sure that you include detailed contact information so that you're easy to reach.
