I just finished reading Elana Johnson's "From the Query to the Call" and submitted my new query for her to critique. Hopefully, the one I send out will be stellar.Emily Whitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06478461123707071108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250095548371624935.post-51788371169426886482010-08-16T13:33:25.163-04:002010-08-16T13:33:25.163-04:00Exciting and scary to begin the query process.
