		<description>This is all such great advice. Especially the words of wisdom on marketing. I know that many new writers, including myself, often underestimate the importance of marketing themselves. The query letter certainly is essential to your marketing plan!

		<description>Meryl and Wendy, thank you so much for these amazing tips! Wendy, I can&#039;t wait to read the book. In working with other authors, I definitely removed the rose colored glasses I wore as a kid who dreamed of being a writer, lol. I now tell aspiring writers that you should write because you love it. It was eye opening to get an inside view of publishing and a reality check to see average sales numbers...but I love writing and alas am working on my novel and looking forward to putting your tips to use. Thank you!

		<description>Meryl and Wendy,

Thanks for teaming up to bring us such an inspirational post.  The query letter is so crucial to your success as a writer.  It&#039;s something that deserves a writer&#039;s full attention, yet many of us do gloss over this.

I love the tips here, and I love the story too.  Rock on, Wendy.

Cheers

George
