To sell your screenplay, magazine article, copywriting service, column idea, book or book proposal, or other written work, you need a concise, focused, and hard-hitting letter that gets a response.

A query is a written pitch
Your query letter is your prime "break-in" tool, and you should spend a lot of time crafting it. Agents, producers, publishers, and editors generally will not read your work until they have first read your query letter. Now you can get Dave's thorough evaluation of your one-page query, his assessment of its marketing potential, and his recommendations for its revision for only $115.

How to get your query evaluated
E-mail your one-page query letter or sales letter to Dave, or send it to Dave Trottier, 4456 Manchester St., Cedar Hills, UT 84062. (Fax is 801-756-5781.) Include the following with your query:

• Check for $115 made payable to Dave Trottier, or VISA/MasterCard information.

• The specific purpose of your query letter. Example: Get an editor to give me a "go-ahead," or get an agent to ask for my script or book proposal. Include any other relevant information.

Turnaround
Allow 2-3 weeks for a response. Dave will respond via e-mail if you request it.

Questions and special situations
If you have a special query, proposal, or sales letter that is longer than one page, e-mail Dave or call him for a quote at 1-800-264-4900.
