S-E-X Tips For Screenwriters: Create an Outstanding Query
Dear Dr. Paige Turner,
With several completed pieces of material polished and ready to go out into the world, suddenly I’m faced with a terrifying new writing challenge – the query letter. While I’ve worked to master my craft, this bizarre half man-half beast hybrid of letter writing/sales pitch/self-promotion leaves me baffled, and, to be honest, a little bit queasy.
Many folks – fellow writers and pros alike – think queries are a complete and utter waste of time. But how else am I going to contact people who could get my work out there?
I want my letter to stand out, but while there are piles of books on writing in every medium imaginable, the scoop on queries falls short. I’m panicking at the thought that no one will every read my story!
Help Paige!
