I have written a non-fiction book. Now I need a literary agent. What about the query?
I have read the Writers Market books, Guide to Literary Agents and searched through Preditors and Editors and AgentQuery. However, my concern is the query letter. I need to polish it up, those books help, but they don’t tell me how to write a fabulous query letter. Being that I have never published a book before, my writing credits on the letter come out dry. What can I do to polish my letter or where can I find an excellent sample? Or a website with samples or good advice?

This is a link to a site where there are many links to articles regarding query writing with many samples to look at. I think the majority of the samples are regarding romance novels, though. But you would still write it in the same structure.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
