Can you see what the wine is? It's Writer's Block Pinot Noir.
This was a Christmas (Birthday?) gift from my in-laws and I've been saving it for a Very Special Occasion. A time when I really needed the powerful mojo of alcohol specifically made for eliciting beautiful words. A time like... writing the most bad ass of all bad ass query letters. (Okay, so "bad ass" isn't really what I'm going for with the letter, but you see what I was trying to do there, right? I'm only on my first glass, for christ's sake.)
Off I go. Progress report to follow. O.o

You go girl. I can read it if you want. Not that I have any literary experience, but I'd imagine it has some parallels with writing a "you should hire me because my research is so fabulous letter", which I spent literally years coming up with one that was successful.
Use words like "transformative" and "ground-breaking" :) That's all I've got. I hope the wine helps!
Yes, same idea. Agents receive hundreds of query letters daily, so I have to somehow get their attention with mine and get them interested in reading my book (and not the 299 other books they've got queries for on their desks).
Note to self: use "transformative" and "ground-breaking." ;)
