Landing a literary agent can seem like an impossible feat — but it doesn't have to be. Make sure you're not making one of these mistakes with your query letter! I have worked with so many writers with absolutely amazing books — who haven't had any luck with landing a literary agent. Literary agents have limited time, and any one of these mistakes could land your query letter in their trash bin. I'm going to go over what these mistakes are — and how to avoid them.
