Writers–Want free feedback on your query letter?

Do you want free feedback on your query letter from a literary agent? Then send your query
letter (for fiction manuscripts) to Query Shark blog. Not all queries will be critiqued, but even if yours isn’t, you can learn from the many critiques already posted on the blog. If your letter is critiqued,it will appear on the blog–and you can also send in a revised query letter based on her feedback. To send a query to Query Shark, email it janet AT fineprintlit DOT com. You MUST put “Query Shark” in the subject line. (Read the right-hand sidebar for more details.) (The agent is Janet Reid at FinePrint Literary, which I found through searching for her email.)

This is an incredibly generous offer, I think–and a fantastic way to learn about how to write a good query letter–even if you all you do is read her blog!
