COMMENTS ON: We Have a New Daughter!
HOORAH!! Zach and my daughter are the same age, and I feel as though they have grown up together. Congratulations to the NEW Mr. and Mrs. Hoy. I remember when you reached out to me in my PI days.
Blessings on all!

You know, Angela, I remember when Zach was a just a kid (in 1998). I had just joined your newsletter and you were giving snippets of family life.
Looking at this article, I can’t believe that this much time has passed and he has long since become a man. Where did the time go?
Zach and Mary are going to make a wonderful couple in life.
Thank you for sharing all these years.

I’m still crying after reading this. You really made my day. I love happy endings and you have such a wonderful husband, Ang. You are truly a blessed woman. I also want to say I love you all, and am happy to know you. You have a wonderful family. God bless Zach and his beautiful bride Mary. May they have a lifetime of happiness, love, and devotion to each other.

Congratulations!!! Well, I cried just reading this, I can’t imagine how moving it must have been in person. Zach’s announcement regarding the name change gave me chills! What a lovely testimony of love for Richard! My compliments to both you and Richard for having raised such a principled, compassionate young man. My best wishes to the newlyweds. Looking forward to the photos! Cheers!

Dear Angela,
Thank you for sharing these Worst Queries.
Truly they are fodder stoking the engines of those of us who ARE working seriously on becoming better writers.
I’m curious what percentage of queries you receive are of this poor quality?
When I read these it just boosts my confidence. I think – If these people are making $ writing then I am doing well and may be a prize winning author just waiting to happen. Ha!
Thanks for sharing them. Great Sunday morning reading material.
Sincerely, Lori
PUBLISHER’S NOTE: Sadly, approximately one-third of the queries we receive really are this bad. 🙁
~~~
I would argue that many of these queries are unusual and not the norm. Unfortunately, I fear I would be wrong. Like Lori above, reading those queries makes me feel like there’s a possibility someone may actually like my writing. On the down side, there are teachers out there hanging their heads knowing students such as these are out there trying to become professional writers. Thanks for sharing these.

Online book promotion is not only simple but, if you have a step-by-step, day-to-day marketing plan (this book!), it can also be a very artistic endeavor, which makes it fun for creative folks like you!
Yes, online book promoting can be EASY and FUN! Let us show you how, from Day 1 through Day 90...and beyond!
- Do you want to REALLY keep 100% of your royalties?
- Do you want to REALLY self-publish your book?
- Do you want direct contracts with the world's largest Print on Demand printer as well as Ingram, the world's largest book distributor, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple, and any other ebook retailer you choose?
All at a price LOWER than most POD publishers!
