A reader has asked me if I've ever critiqued non-fiction query letters on the blog, and I haven't, because the first and only time I asked for query letters to critique, they were all for fiction.
So if you have written a query letter for a non-fiction manuscript, regardless of genre, and you are willing to have it publicly dissected, please email it to call [dot] sydney [at] gmail [dot] com and I'll do my level best to give you some reasonable feedback. I'm not anticipating a deluge but, just in case, I'll cap it at ten queries.
