Hey guys, long time lurker here. I've written 2 books in a YA Fantasy trilogy so far (and 1 more in a new trilogy, but I digress). The first got rejected by just about everybody, so I self-published it. It's sold almost 3,000 copies so far with no marketing budget whatsoever, but I'd still like to get traditionally published. I'm querying for the second book now and have gotten about 30 rejections so far and have about 30 queries out there. Also, 1 agent - Bob Thixton at Pinder Lane - has asked for my first 3 chapters after reading my query letter.
Anyway, enough back-story. I was wondering if anyone on here would be so kind as to read my query letter and give me some feedback. I know rejection is always part of the game, I just want to make sure it's as good as possible. I suppose I should mention that I've paid a professional editor to write my query letter, 1 and 3 page synosis, and edit my books. And by the way - good to meet you all!
