Query Letter / All I Want for Christmas is A Real Good Man
What if the sexy, sophisticated, Carrie Bradshaw were not so sophisticated? What if she was a clueless thirty-something thrown back into the murky waters of the dating pool after the end of an eight-year relationship? What if this real-live person’s life was a little less Sex and the City, and a lot more sitcom? If you can imagine this, then you know what the concept is for my book All I Want for Christmas is A Real Good Man.
All I Want for Christmas is A Real Good Man chronicles my dating experiences in a daily journal format. It’s filled with stories of my misadventures in dating, what can go wrong in my life will go wrong. Every day’s entry tells of my search to find a good man in forty days from my offbeat and quirky viewpoint. I surfed the online dating sites, went on dates, hung out with friends. Every man I met became my potential “real good man”. The result? I found plenty of “real good men”, just not the right good man for me. I did, however, learn (and document) lessons that I carry with me even now as I slightly older (and wiser) member of the thirty-something dating pool.
All I Want is unique book because of its very candid and very real look at the world of dating. Women will read it because they can identify with such archetypal characters as “Mr. Unavailable”, the man perpetually unable to commit. Or what about Cowboy the outrageous flirt, the best friend, the long-legged hero in a silver Camaro? The book tells of Rocky, the womanizer who spreads out the charm in hopes of getting someone in bed. Surprisingly, men are fans of this book too. Why? It gives them invaluable insight into the female mind. They see how women think. It’s like getting permission to read their sister/girlfriend/love interest’s diary, something previously forbidden.
Although All I Want for Christmas is a Real Good Man is my first nonfiction book, I have previous writing credits in various magazines. I’ve been published in NCTE’s Classroom Notes Plus, Country Living, and Catholic Parent. I have blogs on MySpace and WordPress that are slowly growing in subscriptions and views. One of my blogs was chosen for publication in the webzine The Plain Jane.
I’d be happy to send you a full proposal of my book for your review. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
