Over on Pub Rants, agent Kristen has a whole stack of replies to queries.
The best thing about the replies is they are broken up between the paragraphs. If you want to know what's goes into a query letter, and what is unnecessary, go and have a look, inwardly digest, and practice. There is no better source for how to write a letter of inquiry than an agent.
On another topic, it seems the RWA is hitting blogworld again, but for entirely different reasons. Check out: Smart Bitches, and a commentary by Selah March. I wonder if this whole debacle has had any affect on TTQ's career?
Anyway, the conference has been summed at All About Romance by Laurie Likes Books.
And, for the shining light of self-marketing, courage under fire on the road and incredible stamina, go over and congratulate JA Konrath. He has done his 500th bookstore! A sterling effort.
If you're wondering whether you measure up, try reading this, (the woman's got four names - none of which go together - and she's this narcissistic?) then go over to here where the post is mocked with a wonderful biting edge. The comments are pretty snicker-worthy, too.
Finally, Maya Reynolds has an interesting post on storyboarding. Storyboarding, for those who don't know, is a way of plotting a novel, via the use of a board and different coloured sticky notes. Find out how one author does it at Maya's blog.
