What is a query letter? How important is it?
A query letter asks permission to send the project described in the letter. The query letter is sent without the accompanying manuscript. So, a query letter must sell the editor on looking at your completed manuscript.
Visit www.ehow.com for tips on writing an effective query letter.

After receiving your query, we will contact you to request your Work.
