Writing a Synopsis & Query Letter
I think this is probably one of my most popular pages. It doesn't matter if you are
submitting to an agent, a big New York publishing house, or a small little e-press, you
have to have a synopsis and a query letter to go with that manuscript. In fact, many of the
big houses and even some agents will only accept a query and or a synopsis. Chapters
can only be sent later if they ask to see them. Hopefully the information you'll find listed
here will have you writing both like an old pro!

First things first, the query letter. My main Writing a Query Letter page covers a lot of
the basics, including articles and books to help. For me a sample is often a lot of help, so
I've put together a number of Sample Query Letters from some talents published
authors. Reading over these samples can be a big help. I also have an article called The
Power of a Query Letter, that might explain how one little page of writing can tell and
agent or editor anything about your writing ability.
After you have that query letter all done, you've gotta do a synopsis. I know you would
rather have a tooth pulled, but you need to write it. My Writing a Synopsis page is just
the place for you to at least figure out how to start. You'll find links to articles on writing
them, books on writing them, and some hints. Once done there, theres a Sample
Synopsis page you can move on to. Like I said above, I think seeing samples that
worked for others can be a big help with your own efforts.
