How to Write An Amazing Query Letter! (A.K.A. How To Blow Your Literary Agent Away!)

Author Typing-"Dear (Literary Agents name)"

1- Address it to the Literary Agent! (To be polite.) also I figured out the hard way that if your book is a novel it has to be at least 50,000 words long, no Literary Agent will accept it if it's any less. So make sure your book is at least that lengthily.

Author- "Jimmy Owens is a young ten year old,

mischievous boy who's always getting into trouble."

2- Write a Summary of Your Story!(After you introduce yourself and explain your books awards and achievements, that you got from either a contest entry or a book review you got from a writer.)then write what I would call a summary of your book.

1rst- Explain your character! (a short few words.) like Jimmy Owens is a young ten year old, mischievous, boy who's always getting into trouble. Until his father goes missing.   

2nd- then describe the main plot of your book in two paragraphs. (you have to catch your literary Agent's attention.)
like, Jimmy Owens now has to find his missing father, but none of the people in his town seems to care, as if they have all been mind wiped. None of them even remember Jimmy's father ever existing. So alone, Jimmy Owens has to find where his father has gone. With the help of the only other person in his town who remembers his father even being alive, and also the last person to see him. Which is Nana Bimmion. A inquisitive young girl who's always had an interest in the terrestrial. And who tells Jimmy that she saw his dad had been taken by aliens. Now Jimmy with Nana's help, has to find out what really happened to his dad. But when a new comer comes into town, and tells Jimmy that he's and old friend of his Dad's. Jimmy figures out that his Dad was afraid of some unknown entity, that his old friend was going to banish from this earthly plain. 
   
3rd- describe why readers would like it. (A.K.A. your book fan base.)
I think readers will enjoy being able to relate to two vibrant and very opposite characters. Since readers love to grow and learn with book characters. Readers who enjoy the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, will also like this book.

4th- add details! (A.K.A. where your book is based, and how many words.)
this book is based in modern day Salem Oregon, the word count for this book comes to 50, 789 words.

5th-Give info on you. (like, job, schooling, and achievements you've done.)
like- I'm a unpublished writer, a 2015 graduate from "fill in" highschool.

Author- "Take my Query Letter, Literary Agents!"

3- Thank Them For Their Time!(you see they don't have to read every query letter that comes in, so you should thank them for taking the time for reading yours.) Now that you have completed your query letter every Literary Agent is about to be blown away!
