Re: The Earth Bleeds Red- Query Help
Thank you. My first query was absolutely terrible. The final version still wasn't perfect but it did garner interest from two lit agents and one publishing company so it must have been decent.

Re: The Earth Bleeds Red- Query Help
I received a contract offer from Pandamoon Publishing today based on the final version of the query in this thread (plus a few small changes). Thanks for all your help everyone!

Re: The Earth Bleeds Red- Query Help
Thank you again for your help and I most definitely will. I'm also working with another editor/manuscript professional to perfect the query. I will let you guys know what she says too.

Re: The Earth Bleeds Red- Query Help
I would have to respectfully disagree with your critique of the opening. On Twitter today, I received two query requests from agents based on that one sentence during #pitmad. I do appreciate your constructive criticism as it is helping me make the query one that will garner interest in the book. As...

The boys four closest childhood friends are hit especially hard, happening days ...

Re: The Earth Bleeds Red- Query Help
Thank you for the feedback. I've been working on it for more than two weeks now with a lit agency intern and another author. It is harder to write than the book itself! I appreciate the feedback and will post a revision with your advice and the author's mixed in.

Re: The Earth Bleeds Red- Query Help
How's this: Dear Mr. x, When Scott and Jessie's daughter is kidnapped, divers scouting the local river discover the body of another girl. Ashley, their only daughter, is seventeen-years old and her worthless boyfriend called 911 to report that a masked intruder broke into his home, shot Ashley, and ...

Re: Query, let me know
I actually like that... Work that into the query because right now I'm not sure what happens after they reunite.

Re: Query, let me know
I think the story has a lot of potential and sounds very interesting. What is the main conflict? Is it the accident at the beginning or what happens after they go to Dan's house after the reunion? If they are just telling stories, I think it lacks what I would want to keep my attention.
