Query Letter

Hey all,

So I'm having some trouble deciding how to procede. I posted to the pitchfest and have two editors requesting a synopsis and the first three chapters of my book. However, I'm unsure of what I should include in the query letter since a chunk of that information is IN the pitch and completed in the synopsis they have requested. Should I just thank them for their interest and list my accomplishments and contact information?

Thanks for any help!

Hello!

Newbie here! I love connecting with other writers. I'm currently querying agents for my mom blogger cozy mystery series. Have gotten some good responses to my pitches on twitter. Keeping my fingers crossed for here, too. In the meantime, I'm working on a new series and submitting short stories. I recently got my first mystery short story accepted for an anthology! I feel there's still so much to learn about every phase of writing and publishing - even when you get something done, there's 10 more things you could be doing. How about you?

Newbie...

Greetings all!

Found this place when someone retweeted the pitchfest link into my Twitter feed. I look forward to learning more and integrating that knowledge into my writing. I currently have three works posted to www.inkitt.com and hope to get one or more of them off the ground.

Best,

M. A. Freeman

New to Savvy Authors

Good morning! So glad to be here. I've always written but not with the drive that I've had as of the past few years. I was born in Cuba and came to the States with my parents and brother at the age of nine. I write contemporary romance, where at least one character is of Cuban descent. Makes for great culture clashes. I've had the privilege of living in myriad states, from Miami to Maine, St. Croix USVI to San Antonio, Texas, and Louisiana to Washington state, where I now reside. What a wonderful experience.
