My day job is publishing industry freelancer: I index, copyedit, and proofread nonfiction. Other than establishing that I understand publishing deadlines, is there any reason I would include this in a query letter?<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Erin M.

I added it to a resource list on a query critique blog I started, The Public Query Slushpile.<BR/><BR/>http://openquery.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Writers submit their queries, and I put each one up in its own post. I usually get a query posted within 24 hours. Anyone can come and provide feedback, so submissions garner comments quickly. <BR/><BR/>It's mainly feedback from other aspiring writers, but we read blogs like yours (including QueryShark) and help disseminate your teachings to our peers. Of course, professional opinions are welcome on any (every) post...Rick Daleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05173516899130463413noreply@blogger.com
