It's a new year so I thought I would share my goals for the year. They are simple really-finish polishing my novel, get a beta reader, write a query letter and send it to agents who have an interest in the fantasy genre. Okay, all of that is simple except the query letter part. How do you summarize 70,000 words into just a few short paragraphs that will interest an agent? I have a lot of research to do.
