Re: Re: Day 21 - Bonus Assignment - Query Letter
I agree with Storm Machine.

The idea is to use less, make your work sound different enough yet at the same time an interesting twist on something they've seen before, and leave the reader of the query wanting to know more.

I'm not crazy about querying, but it does help me focus on how to answer that question 'what's it about?' without responding like some pretentious jerk.
