nanowrimo_ljI have a Spanish test at 3. I've opened the book twice. I'm going to fail it horribly.
But instead I'm playing with my query letter.
*skips away happily with nothing more than the phrase "Me gusta taco"
...here it is, so when you pass me poor and homeless on the street after I fail out of Spanish and don't graduate college you'll know why:

Dear AGENT NAME,
I am seeking representation for my young adult fantasy adventure novel, THE KEYBEARER, complete at 110,000 words. A sequel is in the works with a potential series in outline form, though this novel can also work as a stand alone piece.
Caterina has spent most of her life living out of a suitcase and through the characters in books, especially since her mother died. But her quiet existence changes forever when she turns an old key in an attic door and discovers Nevaedia, a beautiful, dangerous world she can enter and leave at will through the power of the keys.
When the keys are stolen by Nevaedia’s tyrant, she must retrieve them or risk being trapped in their world forever. With the help of a handful of mismatched Nevaedians who have become like family, she sets out on a journey of far more adventure than she would like, which leads to the discovery of her late mother’s secrets, her own power for magic, and an inner strength she never knew she possessed. Themes of loyalty, friendship, heritage, and the occasional need to rebel surround this character driven story.
I am an English major at the University of Georgia with minors in Philosophy and Creative Writing, and am completing a minor in Classics and an unofficial minor in Adolescent Literature. Thank you for your consideration of this proposal. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Jackson Pearce
