This was SUCH a great interview. I get asked about query letters on occasion and I've never once recommended to aim for short but now I will!!!

Glad you liked it Caitlin. Yeah, I'm usually long-winded with this stuff. I have to rethink all my advice now.

This was so great! I always tell people to write shorter pitches whether it be to agents, publications, or anything else. I'm so glad to hear Miriam say this is what she wants.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Amy. :) I was really surprised by the request for such short queries, because the examples I always find online are rather long!

Yes! I think because I have a marketing background, I just always go shorter no matter what everyone else is doing. Ha.
