Dear Agent for a Day:
I am seeking an open-minded literary agent that is looking for fresh, new material.
I am an unpublished author that has written numerous books – all that are different from anything that you have read or that is on the market. My genres include humor – a romance, short-stories, & science fiction; and a children’s book.
I am currently working on a mystery novel that is completely different from any mystery on the market.
Writing is my passion and I have been doing it for four years.
Should you require additional information, please call me. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Author

Thanks for contacting me about your book. If you would like me to look at it, please send a simple query to me telling me what it is about. I’m afraid I won’t know if I’m interested until then.

Dear Author:
Thank you for submitting your query for consideration. I appreciate the time, energy, and passion that it required to complete your manuscripts.
Unfortunately, given the thousands of queries that I receive annually, I can only request a small percentage of manuscripts for possible representation. It is especially difficult to consider a manuscript without knowing any of the details. For future reference, it is best to query a specific book and offer specifics such as genre, word count, and major plot points – so that I might make a more informed decision.
Given the lack of such details in your query, I have no choice but to pass at this time. I wish you much luck in your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Laura Martone
