When agents open query letters, I'm assuming they start reading from the top and not the bottom (where personal experience/degrees/awards are listed) right? So if the novel you are pitching looks interesting, would an agent still be inclined to reject the request, solely because the writer doesn't have a MFA or has never been published?
All I have is a BA in Pol Sci and History from UofT, and am 26 years closer to death. I have never even entered a writing competition, let alone attempted to get published before. So is there a specific way to play the "about yourself" section of the query for virgin writers? Or should we just be direct and honest about our lack of experience, while focusing on the rest?
