ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR

Most literary agents comb their query accounts to find their next author for representation. The query letter is your book's only opportunity to make an incredible first impression. The best query letters are clear, concise, engaging, and well-organized. This presentation is a how-to guide on drafting the perfect query letter.

Melissa Edwards is both a Literary Agent and the Foreign Rights Manager at the Aaron Priest Literary Agency, a legacy agency doing business for over 40 years. She is an attorney by education and draws on her legal background in representing her clients.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How to organize a query letter
  • How to address a literary agent in the query
  • The appropriate tone for a query
  • The appropriate length for a query
  • How to pitch in a query
  • How to include your background/ bio in a query
  • How to edit your query if you're not getting results

INSTRUCTOR

Melissa L. Edwards is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis and Vanderbilt Law School. She is a member in good standing of the New York State bar. While Melissa began her career as a commercial litigation attorney, she always maintained aspirations to work in publishing. At present, Melissa handles foreign rights for Aaron Priest and she is actively developing her own list.

Melissa's taste ranges in genre from classic Victorian literature to hard-boiled crime dramas. She is interested in reading international thrillers with likeable and arresting protagonists, light-hearted women's fiction and YA, female-driven (possibly small-town) suspense, and completely immersive fantasy. Ultimately, Melissa is looking for a book that will keep her glued to the couch all day and night, and continue to occupy her thoughts for weeks later.

Adorable but Run Very Small!
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Pearly Pink
These run very small. I was advised by my sister before ordering that Mini Melissa runs small; however, my daughter is a size 11 or 11.5 and since these run in whole sizes I couldn’t imagine ordering a 12! I would think a size 12 would be a range of shoe sizes 12 to 13. They arrived in time for an event we needed them for but were way too short in length so unfortunately they were returned. They are lovely, adorable, comfortable shoes but run very very small.
