Agent Monday: Starting your Pitch « Marie Lamba, author.
I wish I had known this earlier about queries. So many books tell writers to make the pitch at the beginning and then of course the second paragraph is the plot. Why, oh why, is there so many different ways to write a query letter? I think the most interesting thing is that we keep in mind that every agent or publisher wants to read things differently. Some want to hear the genre first or they want to know why you are contacting them. Just keep writing and stay as close as you can to the guidelines.
