I'm sure I'm overanalyzing, but...
I'm in the process of doing queries. One of my prospects has instructions like this:
Please send a query letter, a 1-page synopsis, a brief bio (including a description of your publishing history), and the first 10-15 pages of your manuscript. Please send all items in the body of the email, not as an attachment.
Most of it is pretty straightforward. It's just the "send a query letter" part I'm concerned about. Does this include the query text (max 250 chars)? That would mean I'm sending query text, synopsis, and sample MS extract. Is that right? Or is the "query letter" just a covering letter in this case?
