I posted a query letter in the appropriate sub-section of your forum, and have been revising the letter based on the suggestions made by other forum members (a few of whom I appear to have pissed off). Some of the suggestions were wonderful, and strengthened my letter (I think), but I explained that I can't possibly listen to every person who posts! If I were to implement every single change suggested then I'd become a basket case (and surely my letter would suffer for it).
The problem is, I'm more confused now than I was when I posted my query letter for critique. It's impossible for me to tell if people hate the story itself, the query letter, or both - but in any case I seem to have failed in generating a letter that people liked.
So the question is: Have you posted your own query letter for JACOB WONDERBAR AND THE COSMIC SPACE KAPOW?
Could you provide a link to the blog for this? I was unable to find it here at your website.
If you haven't posted your own query letter, then what's preventing you from doing so? Some of us are lost, confused, dispirited, spent, tired, pretty fed up, and would certainly be educated by reading the query letter of an actual agent. Also, I want to critique it in public... oh I kid the literary agent, I kid...
