I've rewritten my query letter three times. I now have one that I think is interesting, well written and expresses my book very accurately. Problem is, agents aren't biting. I have dozens upon dozens of Rs, and yet only 2 partial views. I never seem to get past the first step. The biggest agent I've managed to attract so far is from the first draft of my query, unbelievably enough, but I started off praising her clients that I enjoy reading. I don't really know if this is an accurate view of my query.
What is the best way to know I've written the correct letter? I've read hinter articles on writing queries, but for the finished product - how do I know it's right? I think it is, but obviously I love my book and think the query addresses everything spectacular about it. I wonder if I'm too partial to my story and my query isn't as crazy wonderful as I see it. I feel like I should be attracting more attention than I have at this point. (I'm sure every writer thinks that)
Any advice?
