Writter Hobby

I’m being told I should post some “editing or publishing type stuff”. So — I’ve been collecting awful (and awfully amusing) query letters for some years. You can learn from these — as in, how not to write. But mainly it’s for your entertainment.

This is exactly as received several years ago. I have not corrected or altered it (nothing I could do could make it less awful). Obviously the sender’s name is removed; I’m not out to personally embarrass a person. I do have to say this is the most creative term of address I’ve ever received, more interesting than Dear Madam or Dear Editor.
