Query woes

So far, I've queried a bunch of agents about my novel, The Kinshield Legacy. No takers yet. Not even a nibble. In fact, nobody has seen my manuscript. Must be something wrong with my query letter. Too boring? Too business-like? Hmmmm...

I signed up for a Writer's Digest course on writing query letters. Without going into too much detail, let me just say, for the record, that I wish I hadn't. The course was not worth the money I paid, and the textbook is pretty lousy. I can't recommend this course to anyone, unfortunately. (Now, the Advanced Novel course is another story. I happened to get a really good instructor, and I'm very happy with that course.)

Guess it's time to send out the revamped query.
