In Writing The About You Section Of The Query Letter

A great response might be...











And just like that, you'll have an agent :)

Have a great weekend. >,<

    So that's how you get an agent. Rushing to the post office right now.

    Is that the interview where Chris Colfer breaks out the Sai?

    Because that shit was so awesome. What a cool kid.

    OMG very funny!

    You know, from my last business lesson I learned that to lie in a resume is not illegal. Yeah, really. But there are some details.
    Thanks

    *snort* I fully intend to use each and every one of these - I mean, what agent could resist, right? Right?

    Thanks for the giggle! :-)

    Yes, I should say that I'm a ninja and thus if you don't represent my book I can sneak into your office and slit your throat before you even see me. Bwahahahahahahaha...

    Just so you guys know...I'm being a smartass with this post. I didn't get an agent and you shouldn't actually do this to your query letter. /facepalm

    Very good thing I swallowed my coffee before I started scrolling down, otherwise I certainly would have spit it when I laughed out loud ...

    Hysterical ...

    LOL! I don't include an about me portion in my query. I suppose I should, but anything I write just sounds lame.

    Maybe Chandler covers it but it also seems like just "Please, just give me a chance, pleeeeeassssse......."

    Perfect! A great idea! Query letters by gifs!
    I love colouring [g]
    And there's another one - that guy from the gym in I Love You, Man who keeps crying out "this is awesome!"

    Love those clips. Alternatively you could just say, 'please find enclosed this very large cheque.' Oh yes, and my mum always thought that I was awesome too!

    Can I jut post this whole thing on my website and write a link into the query letter? I bet agents love that sort of thing.

    Who is the "I will cut you" guy? Looks familiar but can't place him, but he does look really scary. Like he's going to go postal at any moment.Betty White rocks, I swear that poor woman works so much and she is so funny. I am glad she is getting all the attention she deserves even if it is so late in life. I just hope she doesn't work herself to death.
