Query Letter
When contacting Boudica Publishing Inc. about possible publication of your book you should have a finished manuscript that is edited. Your first step is to send a query letter to Boudica for consideration. Please follow these query letter guidelines.
Your Query Letter
Your query letter should:
** Be one page
** (In the first paragraph) Include the title of the book, the genre, the number of words, indicate what you want - publisher - agent - even advice. If you have a tag line for your book, use it at this point. If your book is already edited include that information here.
** (In the second paragraph) Include the name of the main character, her job, a few words about her life and her world.
**(In the third paragraph) Outline the plot and the describe the full story arc including the ending.
** (In the forth paragraph) Describe your credentials as a writer. Include your previous publications, your professional experience, college degrees, anything that highlights tour skills.
** (In the fifth paragraph) Sum up the letter. You may want to say you have included a few pages - or that you would be happy to send a few chapters or a full manuscript.
Be sure to be as brief and concise as possible. Use descriptive words. Be sure your letter reads well and has no typos or errors. After all it is representing your book. If your letter is poorly written, it will negatively influence the reader.
Email your query letter and a few key pages of your manuscript to: boudicapublish@aol.com.
