I just completed my 91st short story. But that’s not the email I wanted to send to you. To the point, I concede (read—Uncle! ). I don’t possess the luck required to attract an agent via query letter. But, then, I know brilliant scholars who are terrible test takers. You are a talented agent, likely overworked. Think outside the box. A single talented writer possessing eight uniquely entertaining novels and ninety-one short stories could make life easier. Call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx. A brief conversation will save you weeks, if not months, of fruitless query reading.
Great. A writer with 8 novels, 91 short stories, and the inability to write a query letter. Hope you’re standing by your phone, because I’d hate for you to miss my call.
