Query for Kelly Peterson

Thank you so much for considering me for your representation! Please complete as many options below as possible, and I will get back to you as soon as I am able.

A few reminders:

-Your query is mostly about your book, rather than your biography. This isn't about you, but rather what you have written. I want to see your work! Leave the bonding and "getting to know you" for the possible phone call. =)
- Queries are meant to leave an agent wanting more. Don't tell me everything, but do tell me your characters, conflict, and a bit of rising action. Don't give me the solution!
- I love voice driven work and manuscripts that start in the correct place. Your beginning needs to capture your reader's attention, and you do that with voice and a bit of action rather than exposition and description. Who is your character? Show me!

Thank you, and best of luck in all of your writing endeavors!

Warm Regards,

Kelly
