Query Letter (Rough Draft 1)

(Rough Draft just for practice as part of an Ed2go class assignment)

Dear Editor

Have you ever thought of painting on location but feared your painting skills would open you up to ridicule?

Don't Cry Over Spilt Paint, Painting on Location for the Beginner is an unique book that addresses beginning painters fears, why it is important to paint on location, and gives practical tips to become a successful on location painter no matter what art media they use.

Don't Cry Over Spilt Paint has pulled together the bits and pieces that are scattered through various "How to Paint" books and publications to directly address the concerns and questions of the beginning on location painter.

(I haven't identified a publisher yet.) I believe this informative and humorous book will be an excellent addition to your catalog.

Thank you very much for considering Don't Cry Over Spilt Paint. I've enclosed an SASE for your reply; you can also contact me at [email] or [phone].

Sincerely,

Kat

Decided not to practice writing a proposal as I really want to go the self publishing route for this book.

This is a well written letter, Kat. I would recommend running it through an editor for sentence-level corrections, but the content and tone are solid.
