Writers on The Move
The
first thing any writer who wants to be published has to learn is how to put
together a good query. Nearly every journal, magazine, editor, publisher, and
reviewer wants you to send a query first. Often you'll be asked to include a
synopsis. For newer writers or writer
who haven't submitted for a while, these terms can be both daunting and
confusing, and they aren't made easier by the fact that words can mean
different things in different contexts.
Queries
Think
of a query as a proposition. It is the first presentation of you as an author
to an editor and you’re proposing that they consider taking the next step and
request a whole article or manuscript. Depending on what you’re sending a query
for, it can be an idea that you’re pitching as a freelancer, or it can be a
single page cover letter which proposes that they request a full manuscript. It
must be concise.
