Hi, everyone 
So, for some reason, I could not get into the "Query Letter Hell" forum. It said that I do not have privileges to be able to post a new thread? So not sure about that.
But anyway, I would love, love, love to have some help on my query letter I would love to get any kind of critique possible for this query letter. Would YOU read this book? Does it sound interesting? Would it be something any agent would pick up right away and say "I NEED to get this book published!".....or not?
Thanks so much for the future advice, everyone! I enjoy being here
Here's my query letter:
Dear Mr. (Last Name):
The intricate powers of a simple traveling bag must remain secret, although not for long. In the wake of Reefton, New Zealand's violent desolation, eleven-year old Martha Jackson's
mother makes a choice of a lifetime in saving her children from a terrible fate. Abruptly, their destiny is sealed by a mysterious enchantment that will send them through another realm to a different age and a secure style of living. Four generations have expanded on its logic and are unable to understand its driven desire to both save and create better lives for people.
As Martha struggles to understand the true meaning of her father's legacy through this captivating entity, she learns the truth about her past, her future, and much more than she has ever dreamed of. In daring to trust her mother with the profound works of this magic suitcase, she will come to discover a place where peace finally exists for her family.
My historic fantasy novel THE MAGIC SUITCASE, complete at 81, 000 words, will appeal to adult readers who enjoy unique story tones of mystery and romance that are both surprising and heartwarming. May I send you an excerpt or the full manuscript?
I have written fiction stories for fourteen years and hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. My poem The End has appeared in literary magazine New Branch of the Journey. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jenna Kinzler
