“An editor's life isn't all that glamorous. She (and it’s usually a she) works in a 10’ x 10’ office all day, every day. She has to attend boring acquisition meetings with a bunch of other editors who are pitching their pet projects”

“The first paragraph will usually state the title, the genre, and the number of words in the manuscript (if you have completed it). Next you will have the main body of the query, where you explain what the book is and why it should be published. I prefer that it be written as briefly as possible. Some agents, though, want longer query letters. Agents will give you some indication of their preferences for length when you go to the submission page of the agent’s website. The final paragraph should have something about yourself, what you do in the real world, and why you have the authority to write the book.”
