Hello, all!
Here is my first vlog post about how to write a query letter for the P.S. Literary Agency.
Be kind to me! It’s my first one and I promise they’ll get better… It’s harder than it looks. :)
For more information on querying please visit the P.S. Literary Agency website. Also, see my previous post on this topic.
Great vlog Carly! One question, what if, as a new writer, I don’t have awards or affiliations, or publications to but in the bio? Is it okay if it is really short, or is there something else I should include?
Thanks, Laura! I can sigh of relief now :)
It can be super short. “Laura Folds lives in ____, this is her debut novel.”
If you don’t have anything to say in there, don’t try to puff it up, nice and simple is great.
Great job Carly! You are so cute! :D
You did awesome! You’d never know this was your first one!
Thanks Jen! *stands a little taller*
You have the best voice…..when you are through being an agent, get yourself over to the radio station!!
Thanks, sweetie! I’m not leaving this job anytime soon though, love my authors too much.
xxxxxxxxxxxxooooooooooooo
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Lots of conflicting information out there.
All the best,
Marc
Every agency is looking for something different, I’m sure, but PSLA just requires a query letter as stated above with no pasted chapters etc.
Thanks for stopping by, Marc.
Great job! There weren’t any uhs, ahs, or ums, like in other vlogs I’ve seen. :D
Question: I was wondering if you wanted to participate in an agent pitch match in March? A sort of poker game against other agents. We have three agents and one possible joining in. I can email you details, if you want. :D
Hi Brenda. Thanks for watching! I had to do some retakes due to slouching and such… Perhaps I should include some bloopers down the line…
In answer to your question, I’m doing a query contest this month so I will unfortunately have to pass on your offer for March. I need to keep a balance. Thanks for thinking of me, though.
