Quotes

  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted2 years ago
    It’s a one-page letter with three or four single-spaced paragraphs and a space between paragraphs.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted2 years ago
    Writing a query is as simple as HBC: the Hook, the Book, and the Cook.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted2 years ago
    They don’t have the right readers to help them, and that’s fatal. Getting feedback on your work and your query letter, which is a sample of your work, is as essential to your career as writing and promoting it. You won’t get your work right by yourself, but you don’t have to. Get all the feedback you need, but do it before you submit your work.
