Don't be offended by any criticism you receive. Use it as a learning tool (just like this blog), and make your work BETTER!<BR/><BR/>My first attempt at a query letter was a complete DISASTER! It was trashed on a critiquing blog by an agent worse than any other post on the site (believe me, I looked). It has only made me step back and take a look at not only my query, but the story as a whole. <BR/><BR/>Use everything and anything you can learn from agents and other writers!<BR/><BR/>:) TerriTerriRainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301763290901887933noreply@blogger.com
