There is one primary difference between the two: when you query agents with a screenplay you need to sell yourself as much or more than you sell your script in the letter. They are looking for good scripts, but they would rather represent a good client than just one good script. There are some great resources out there that post sample query letters to agents and to production companies.</p> James- I don’t know if you’ve sent queries out for a novel, but if you have that is good practice.

Should we keep sending out queries or maybe wait for a few more months to pass, where hopefully, things will start looking up?
