Query Letter
When
contacting Boudica Publishing Inc. about possible
publication of your book you should have a finished
manuscript that is edited. Your first step is to send a
query letter to Boudica for consideration. Please follow
these query letter guidelines.
Your Query Letter
Your query letter should:
** Be one page
** (In the first paragraph) Include the title of the book,
the genre, the number of words, indicate what you want -
publisher - agent - even advice. If you have a tag line for
your book, use it at this point. If your book is already
edited include that information here.
** (In the second paragraph) Include the name of the main
character, her job, a few words about her life and her
world.
**(In the third paragraph) Outline the plot and the
describe the full story arc including the ending.
** (In the forth paragraph) Describe your credentials as a
writer. Include your previous publications, your
professional experience, college degrees, anything that
highlights tour skills.
** (In the fifth paragraph) Sum up the letter. You may want
to say you have included a few pages - or that you would be
happy to send a few chapters or a full manuscript.
Be sure to be as brief and concise as possible. Use
descriptive words. Be sure your letter reads well and has
no typos or errors. After all it is representing your book.
If your letter is poorly written, it will negatively
influence the reader.
