I have been tossing around the idea about sending a query letter.First, I had to stumble upon who to send it to and then after feeling reasonably good about this agent's authenticity, I remembered seeing Mr. Lukeman's short, "How to Write a Great Query Letter."

Mr. Lukeman has mentored me and doesn't know it. I read this informative piece and became more confident in my desire to query.

This short does what the author intends, informs the reader completely with well grounded advice and tips .

Many thanks Mr. Lukeman

It doesn't get any easier than this.... April 2, 2008

Ah, the dreaded query letter. It's sad to think that a tiny introduction letter of your work can be the fine line between an author and literary representation. It's also sad because most authors don't enjoy writing them or don't know how. I was one of those writers only until recently. I've spent most of this year sending out query letters; I've gotten some rejections and am still waiting to get some responses.

I only wish I would have come across this free download a few months ago. Lukeman's information here is precise and very informative. Any aspiring writer who is thinking about querying in the near future should definitely download it.

By reading agent blogs and websites, you'll quickly discover that every agent is different in what they want. Lukeman touches on that here as well. Some want the first 5 pages. Some want 20. Some want an outline. Others only want a letter. Lukeman's advice definitely helps an author to be prepared up front in order to meet deadlines and stay on top of agent replies.

I will definitely be pulling out my copy of this download next time I'm ready to start querying again. It's better than anything I've read on the market today as far as "how to's" for writers go. Thank you Noah Lukeman for making it a free asset!

This is not just a guide on how to write a great query letter. Noah Lukeman brings you down from the cloud you are sitting on, slaps you on the face a few times to make you snap out of it, and then points you in the right direction to finding the appropriate book agent for your written work.

Put simply, this man has written a generous text from which I benefited greatly. I felt the entire time that it had been written by a sincere person who truly wanted to lend a helping hand (and it's free!). I will be taking the advice shared in this book.

How to Write a Great Query Letter provides an easy step-by-step process which concisely answers the question - What does it take to write a query letter that will get read? Lukeman offers ideas for research before you draft the letter, formatting and printing tips and reinforces the three-paragraph rule. Chapter seven discusses how fiction and non-fiction query letter should differ. Chapter eight deals with common makes made. This Amazon Short offers ideas on how to submit the letter and keys to following up. The checklists, examples, and clear verbiage will be helpful to new authors and those that have been in the game for a while. Definitely, a great deal for the price!
