happy 2025! i thought i'd kick off the new year by (finally!!) sharing the query letter that got me my current literary agent. while this is by no means a perfect query letter, i hope it gives you a general idea of the format and what agents are looking for.

please let me know if you have any questions in the comments below.

thank you for watching :)
