I've been through three drafts of my query letter -- feels like I'm nearly there. The goal is to introduce the protagonist and antagonist and to summarize the story up through the first big crisis and resulting choices. What are the consequences of each choice; what's at stake?
The target audience for this letter is an agent, the person who will decide whether or not to try to sell my story to a publisher. The purpose is to get the agent to want to read the manuscript.
A query letter is remarkably hard to write!
