I would very much like to have tea with the authors; unfortunately I’ll have to settle for reading their book. Friendly and experienced, Diana and Linda offer excellent advice for breaking into magazines and address many writerly concerns, such as how to deal with follow ups, a lack of clips, and editors who ignore you. The second part of the book is even more enlightening – real query letters complete with comments from the editors who received them. It’s like having an editorial super-decoder ring at your service.

The first half of this book provides valuable information about breaking into magazine markets. Although the tips are professional and ethical, Diana and Linda are quite funny while talking to us — and that’s the tone of this book. The authors are talking to their readers, not at their readers. I literally laughed out loud several times while reading. The second half of the book consists of samples of successful query letters and comments from the editors who gave the assignments to the writers. This information alone is worth the cost of the book a hundred times over.

As a still unpublished writer I had high hopes for this follow up to the incredibly awesome Renegade Writer. I just finished reading it through and this book does not dissapoint! Between the Q&A’s and the sample query letters I feel like I learned how to take my queries to the next level. Every writer should have this on their reference shelf!

“Query Letters That Rock” is terrific. You get a look at actual pitches that sold with comments from the editors who bought them. No matter what kind of magazine you want to write for, Linda and Diana offer tips on how to make it happen.
Rock on!

This is the second book in The Renegade Writer’s Freelance Writing series. As suggested by the title, this book takes a different approach than most writing books. Rather than spewing forth rigid instructions and how-to’s, this book answers questions and offers samples. The author’s are unconventional in their approach and successful. They encourage writers to THINK rather than just follow rules. If rules need to be broken in order to offer your best work, break them without hesitation.
The first section (80 pages in length) answers common questions about writing query letters. How and when do I send it? Length? Content? Clips? Follow-up? Fees? A number of terms are defined; special cases detailed. They tackle basically everything you want to know about query writing. Their answers are informative, thorough and funny.
The second section (the remainder of the book, about 120 pages) contains sample after sample of query letters that worked along with explanations of why they were successful. The authors of this book give their perspectives, but so do the authors of the sample queries and the editors who bought the stories being pitched. Samples come from nearly every type of magazine or periodical: Parenting, Oxygen, USA Weekend, Midwest Airlines, E Magazine, Fitness, Entrepenuer … and many, many more. The article types are varied as well, from personal profiles to health articles and travel. It’s a mine of valuable information.
Final Thoughts: EXCELLENT! The best book I have found on this topic. A must-have resource for freelance writers.
