Sample Query Letter: Jenny Bent

I'm in the midst of putting together a query letter for a short fiction piece I want to send out. While I enjoy (ok, love) writing nonfiction queries, the fiction version has me a little stumped--especially since my story is only about 5,500 words.

Googled "fiction query letter" and came up with this excellent, entertaining example from Jenny Bent's (literary agent) site--if you're in the market for putting a fiction query together yourself. Gives me inspiration....and I want to read the book myself!

Happy querying (don't be afraid...)
