You know your query letter sucks when \u2026 you don\u2019t grab them in the first sentence. These are the words of Jeff Rivera, founder of <a title=\"How to write a query letter dot com\" href=\"HowToWriteAQueryLetter.com\" target=\"_blank\">HowToWriteAQueryLetter.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff goes on to say:<!--more--><br \/>\n\u201cAgents are so busy nowadays they won\u2019t even give a query letter an entire paragraph to grab them. If you\u2019ve passed the first test, what I like to call the scan test (meaning it looks professional at first glance), then you\u2019ll be lucky to go on to the next test: the first sentence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey might be patient enough to even give you the first few sentences but Honey, if you don\u2019t have it together by then, you can kiss your chances of landing that agent goodbye.  There are so many different ways to grab an agent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are five of the techniques I use for my clients. I\u2019ve ghost written over 100 query letters for clients successfully. 100% of them have received at least 10 top agents that have requested to read their manuscript or book proposal. In other words, use these techniques \u2013 they work. You don\u2019t need to use all of them, just choose one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere are my top five ways to grab an agent with your query letter in the very first sentence.<\/p>\n<p>1. Start with a question that makes them ponder?<br \/>\n2. Talk about a dramatic moment in your personal life that connects with the book you\u2019ve written<br \/>\n3. Tell them immediately about your platform<br \/>\n4. Compliment them on a specific recent sale<br \/>\n5. Tell them who referred you<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUse one of the five suggestions above and you\u2019ll be one step closer to landing an agent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to see an example of over 60 different examples of query letters, visit: <a title=\"How to write a query letter dot com\" href=\"http:\/\/HowToWriteAQueryLetter.com\" target=\"_blank\">HowToWriteAQueryLetter.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Original post here: <a href=\"http:\/\/writersconferenceguidelines.com\/blog\/queries\/you-know-your-query-letter-sucks-when\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/writersconferenceguidelines.com\/blog\/queries\/you-know-your-query-letter-sucks-when\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like helping crafting your query letter, <a title=\"Contact Beth Barany\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bethbarany.com\/contact.html\" target=\"_blank\">contact me and we&#8217;ll talk!<\/a> I know so great experts who can help you.
