Sent Out My First Query Today
Well, I did it. I sent out my first query letter this afternoon. It was to a literary agency in NYC. They wanted a letter and the first five pages of the novel. So, I typed it up and e-mailed it in according to their submission guidelines. Feeling nervous but good about the whole deal.
