I sweated bullets over it, finally wrote something I thought was good enough, crossed my fingers and hit "send". I think my heart tried to pound its way out of my chest when I knew it was on its way :-)<br /><br />I email you with one of the versions of my query for Rayven's Keep. It must have been okay because I got two requests for a full manuscript and I only submitted it to four different people. <br /><br />Good luck with your query. I hope it garners you a request for a full manuscript!<br /><br />ElizabethElizabeth Parkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373625667499742139.post-35398247167154508622012-07-28T18:35:40.047-07:002012-07-28T18:35:40.047-07:00Monica,

Whaddya mean, run a business? Whaddya mean, I'm in sales now?<br /><br />Never did I ever want to do either of these, but I do want to make a career of writing, so here I am.<br /><br />I am also sending you my very first query letter to my publisher, Samhain. I have NO IDEA if it is a good query letter, but it WORKED. And it was also the last query letter I wrote, so I haven't had any practice at it, lol.<br /><br />hugs,<br />CathrynCathryn Cadehttp://www.cathryncade.comnoreply@blogger.com
