Queries! They're how you get an agent. And getting an agent is how you traditionally publish a book. A query is a pitch for your book, a short letter you send to agents to entice them to read more of your book.

I'm going over it ALL. Query basics, my favorite query formatting tips, discussion of comps, bios, personalization, and basic querying ettiquette/best practices.

General query etiquette starts at 14:25 (everything before that is how to write a query)

I have a downloadable guide to queries that outlines this information! Download it here: http://alexadonne.com/writer-resources/
