My current pitch is between 275 and 287 words. The longer one has a more specific ending. The entire query with the miscellaneous stuff will be longer: My credits paragraph, etc, is under 100 words (exact length will depend on the specific agent queried). So that makes a total of maybe 370-390 words.
I hope that's not too long for an e-query?
It's for a fantasy novel. My concept and scope requires the additional wordage, and it appears there's not much I can do to cut the pitch without losing something important.
Another question: When I present the ultimate stakes at the end of the pitch, I say "may", but that bad stuff actually does happen at the end of the novel. Is that ok?
Thanks in advance.
