Like Jan said, well done for being brave and sharing your query. They are are so hard to get right, and I feel your pain as I have to write pitch letters to editors, which are very similar. Best of luck in the future with it and I'm glad we helped in some way!Gemma Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614433692914150518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222814162697318696.post-53659438252544559212013-10-26T21:35:51.860+01:002013-10-26T21:35:51.860+01:00Thank you again Gemma and Molly for another brilli...Thank you again Gemma and Molly for another brilliant hunk of advice!<br />Also 'specially interesting to read your wish lists:)Jan Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335419896028312596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222814162697318696.post-61286765226841150132013-10-26T21:33:03.929+01:002013-10-26T21:33:03.929+01:00Thank you very much Louise for being brave enough ...Thank you very much Louise for being brave enough to send in your query for critique!

Writing the query letter for Ev...Thank you so much. Writing the query letter for Evivrus has been painful and scary. Every time I take it down to the basics, I pile it back up again with confusing detail. Separating yourself from your beloved characters and novel is so hard. Each time I write that one of my key themes is loyalty it seems too vague, so I put in how and why, which spirals. The same with learning how to be brave and testing yourself - how? why? I get myself into a mess - must put this in, can't leave that out! I then edit it down, leaving leaping assumptions that are confusing. Writing query letters is hard! However, your advice here has been hugely helpful, so thank you for your time and trying to unpick my ramblings! What would we do without Scoobie, Gemma and Molly?
