  • Summary

  • After many requests, I decided to finally tackle the dreaded query letter. I bring back to the show screenwriter, author, and IFH Academy instructor Geoffrey Calhoun. Below Query Letter Checklist and a few areas, we discuss in the episode.
    1. No Snail Mail
    2. Do Your Research
    3. Address the Letter to Individuals, not "To Whom It May Concern"
    4. It's about the script, not you!
    5. Be Casual but not too casual
    6. Cut to the chase
    7. Don't forget the Logline
    8. This isn't open mic night
    9. Its CATS meets The Goonies
    10. Dig through your contacts
    11. Proofread
    I hope this helps you write that query letter. Best of luck and keep on writing!Enjoy my Conversation with Geoffrey D. Calhoun.
