TheBanyanTree: Writing a Query

[spoonoid]

Monique:

Incredible -- is the word I would use to describe the lack of interest the 
agents and editors express for an unknown author's manuscript. They want to 
concentrate on writers with a proven audience or a "platform," which means you 
are already famous, are a celebrity, politician, or criminal.
Self-publishing today is much more respectable than it was a few short years 
ago. But watch out for vanity publishers and respectable looking 
"self-publishers." Read the book "The Fine Print of Self-Publishing" by Mark 
Levine.

Later, John.

So here's the thing. Whether it's procrastination or not knowing how, or
whether it's thinking this just isn't going to work out, or whether it's
something else, my query still has not been written. And it should be.
