Key summary notes on query letters




à Research the publication you want to write for.
à Address the editor by name if at all possible.
à Keep them short, professional, and to the point.
à Include what you want to write about and why there is a need for such information.
à Highlight why you have the expertise to write on this topic.
à Include your contact information.
à Proofread your letter and e-mail cover note; typos could get your query tossed.
