My main takeaway from Worldcon is that I need to GET! IT! TOGETHER! Everyone else was naming actual human agents and discussing the finer points of query-writing. I was standing around with my first-timer ribbon and a hopefully affable smile. To that end-- just wrote my first novel query letter!

Haha I can help. Worldcon is a global speculative writers convention. I went there last weekend and spoke to other writers. They were thinking about and working in the business of writing with a focus that I need. Hence, I wrote my first query (a letter to an agent asking for representation)
