Part 3: Why this agent

“

- [Instructor] And now we come to Part 3 of the query letter where you will tell the agent why he or she is the absolute perfect agent for your novel. This is where you'll put a personal note to each agent you query about why you're querying them. We're going to talk about researching agents in more detail in the next section. So for now, simply reserve a space here for a customized message to the agent who will be receiving your query letter. Now, by the time your reader gets through these parts of your query letter, they should be practically screaming, yes, I love it. I'm intrigued. I'm glad you chose me and want to know what happens next. I have to read this book. Or, in other words, they want more. Mission accomplished.
