For the sake of brevity: What is a query letter, how do I write one and to whom do I send it? (Forgive my lack of knowledge). Thank you.
The most fun I had with a query landed me Jeff Herman as an agent. The book didn't get published, but I managed to amuse myself. Here was the open:
"Dear Jeff,
I hazard to guess that this is the first time anyone has ever sent you "garbage" on purpose. Not to mention garbage with such a bright future ahead of it. The project I humbly submit to you for publication -- Garbage Cans of New York -- is the yet-to-be-told comedic story showcasing essential elements of the Big Apple's urban landscape."
Alas, Garbage Cans of New York, the coffee table edition with humorous stories entwined within it, never saw the light of day. Yet, I was signed by on my first query. Trust your gut and let it fly!!!!!!
