I looked into posting this in the QLH forum, but this seems a better place.
I'm sending out a new round of query letters for my novel. I haven't had any fiction published, but I've had an essay published in an academic journal and I write a weekly blog on a website reviewing (mostly) older movies. I haven't referenced these in my previous drafts of my query letter because I thought they were irrelevant, and I'm wondering if that's a mistake. If I'm trying to market fiction, and all I've published is non-fiction and reviews, is this the kind of thing an agent would care about? Am I better off leaving this stuff out?
Thanks!
