Write My QuerySuccessful Queries: Hayley Steed and “I Did Something Bad,” by Pyae Moe Thet War

The best way to learn how to write a successful query is to read one. In this installment, find an unusual situation. Instead of the author querying the agent, the agent reached out to the author. Find here a response letter to agent Hayley Steed from Pyae Moe Thet War that would start an agent-author relationship that eventually led to the novel, I Did Something Bad (St. Martin’s Griffin).
