QUERIES AND SUBMISSIONS by Tom Clark helps the writer get the editor"s attention from approaching the query, to six steps in opening your query, to strengthening the heart of your query, to giving your query a powerful and persuasive closing. Only one thing is more important than the actual manuscript. It is the query letter that grabs the editor"s attention and gives her the desire to read your story. This is a book that stays on top of my desk for reference and is a book I highly recommend. Sue Tornai
