Jeff Moores is a literary agent at Dunow, Carlson & Lerner Literary Agency in New York City. Last spring, his boss passed along a query letter he liked but could not pursue. Jeff also liked what he read. He requested the manuscript and now represents Michelle Von Euw’s novel, FAR FROM HOME.
At about 500 words, Michelle’s query letter was an ideal length. Divided into four paragraphs, each one delivers necessary information needed to hook an agent.
Following the letter, Jeff identifies portions that caused him to request the manuscript.
