<p> Sample Query Letter Template for Email</p><p>Dear Mr. Smith,</p><p>I read on your website that you are interested in horror/suspense fiction. I thought that you may be interested in my novel Shadows in the Mist. I would like to invite you to review the manuscript for my novel and consider representing me.</p><p>Shadows in the Mist is a supernatural thriller set in Germany during World War II. The story is about Lt. Jack Chambers, a U.S. Army platoon leader torn between protecting the lives of his soldiers and fulfilling a deadly covert mission that could shift the outcome of the war. The mission: lead a band of elite commandos behind German lines and infiltrate a Nazi secret weapons operation. </p><p>Inside a foggy ghost town, Lt. Chambers’ platoon discovers a supernatural force is killing both American and German soldiers. A bloody battle against invincible shadow soldiers spins the mission out of control. Battered and confused, the platoon survivors hole up inside an abandoned church. Lt. Chambers finds himself tangled in a web of espionage, evil sorcery, and a battle of light and darkness. Several commandos within the squad have their own secret agendas and hold pieces to the puzzle about the hellish force the Nazis unleashed. As the platoon struggles to fend off the shadow soldiers, Lt. Chambers discovers his worst nightmares are the terrifying secrets hidden inside the tunnels beneath the church. </p><p>Shadows in the Mist is a Saving Private Ryan war story that interweaves a supernatural mystery with historical facts about the Nazis’ fascination with the Occult. Stories similar to this blend of genres are Dean Koontz’s Lightning, F. Paul Wilson’s The Keep, and the popular Raiders of the Lost Ark. </p><p>Although Shadows in the Mist will be my first published novel, I have ghost-written one health book, published a short story, three articles, and worked as a book editor for four published authors, fiction and non-fiction. I am a member of the Hawaii Writers Association and studied in Rome with bestselling authors John Saul and Terry Brooks. I am currently at work on my second novel.</p><p>I am thirty-six years old and have a long writing career ahead of me. My dedication to excellence goes beyond just writing great novels. As my main profession, I edit corporate videos, documentaries, and travel videos. My career takes me around the world several times a year. In my spare time, I coach writers to be successful and co-lead jungle retreats in Hawaii and Costa Rica.</p><p>I’d be happy to send you a synopsis and complete copy of the manuscript for your review. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.</p><p>Regards,</p><p>[Your signature]</p><p>Brian Moreland</p><p>[email protected] http://www.BrianMoreland.com</p>
