After many requests, I decided to finally tackle the dreaded query letter. I bring back to the show screenwriter, author, and IFH Academy instructor Geoffrey Calhoun. Below Query Letter Checklist and a few areas, we discuss in the episode.
- No Snail Mail
- Do Your Research
- Address the Letter to Individuals, not “To Whom It May Concern”
- It’s about the script, not you!
- Be Casual but not too casual
- Cut to the chase
- Don’t forget the Logline
- This isn’t open mic night
- Its CATS meets The Goonies
- Dig through your contacts
- Proofread

I hope this helps you write that query letter. Best of luck and keep on writing!
