Today it is an experiment. At the end of the day, I may be the only participant. But hopefully not.
So today I am posting a much-revised version of a query that has been around for awhile. I did get one request for a full based on an earlier version of it. Perhaps I should return to that one. So here it is. Feel free to leave feedback in the comments section. And thanks for your participation.
Dear [ ]:
The victim of high school bullying, Noelle has had enough. The popular crowd has made her life a living hell. Despite this, Noelle’s best friend longs to be part of their group. When Noelle befriends the new rebel of the school, she moves from a naïve and complacent Catholic school girl to a rebellious teenager obsessed with revenge. As she teeters on the edge of losing her best friend, her boyfriend, and herself, she has to decide if her revenge is worth the price.
Since your agency represents young adult fiction and authors whose work I enjoy reading, such as [fill in the blanks], you may be interested in my contemporary novel, OUTCAST, set in modern-day Scottsdale, Arizona. It bears similarities to BURNED by Ellen Hopkins in that it contains a realistic ending and focuses on the darker dimensions of the main character and her life. The manuscript is complete at 87,000 words and is available upon request.
I have written three novels and have been published at The Fertile Source and Cliterature Journal. I was a writer with Inside/Outside Magazine, penning the publication’s “With the Kids” column.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and time. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Susan Oloier
Also, don't forget to visit Shelley Watter's blog for another of her unbelievable giveaways, which begins tomorrow.
Finally, come back next Wednesday. I plan to have some sort of book giveaway. Just haven't mapped out all the details yet.
