How do you write an authors Quarry?

answers1: See the link below <br>
<br>
This book is the book that every published author I know in real life
(friends and family) recommends as the best resource out there.
answers2: The Value of a Query <br>
<br>
Queries benefit both editors and writers. Editors much prefer to
review a one-page letter than a 10-page manuscript, so queries spend
less time in the slush pile. They also enable an editor to determine,
quickly, whether you: <br>
<br>
Can write effectively <br>
Have a coherent, well-thought-out idea that fits the publication's content <br>
Have a basic grasp of grammar and spelling <br>
Have read the publication <br>
Have the credentials or expertise to write the article <br>
Are professional in your approach to writing
answers3: The word is query. Nicholas Sparks has very kindly posted an
example of one of his query letters. It should help you a lot. <br>

As for children's books, expect a ton of rejections. Most publishers
arent reading children's books anymore. The market is glutted with
celebs, existing authors, reprints of classics and adult authors now
writing children's too. I know of no major publishers seeking
children's books now, and agents arent reading them because there is o
money in it for them. <br>

Not to burst your bubble, but that is the cold hard fact. Pax - C <br>

PS = a query letter with errors in it is an instant rejection.
Spelling, punctuation and grammar counts, and from your question,
yours needs a lot of work. Pax - C
answers4: Well, an author's quarry is a publisher, but I don't think
you are going to hunt one down with a cross-bow. The word you are
looking for a author's query. It means a question. What you do is
write to the publisher and outline (briefly! one page max) your story,
and ask if they would be interested in reading a sample chapter. If
they say yes, you send it. If they say no, you try another publisher.
And you always enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your
query (SSAE) so they can send a reply to you. <br>
Good luck
