I'd like to know if anyone has examples of query letters you could share with us. I'd like to focus on magazines (online and print). Thanks.

Hi Duchess

We have a number of great articles dealing with query letters - start first with these search results from Travel Writers Exchange

http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/?s=query+letters

I suggest you start with the articles by Rebecca and Maralyn so that you have a really good understanding of how to structure and write one, but then you can find an example here:

Brilliant! I would like to create a query letter that will get me noticed by editors and not "filed" away somewhere in an editor's office.

If you're willing to invest a little bit, Writer's Digest is having a webinar on Thursday (Jan. 28th) on Critiquing Query Letters.....looks like it could be very useful
