Contrary to a lot of people, I love query
letters. Reading them, writing them, critiquing them--I love it all. So, anyone who would like me
to critique their query letter please email me at michelle.k.krys@gmail.com. I can't
promise to crit every single letter, but I can promise to be nice. Picky but
nice.
