One of the sources that I found helpful comes from thejohnfox.com 100+ Query Letter Examples (That Got Authors and Agent)

The query letters cover are linked and organized by genre. There are a lot of helpful tips and this site should be in every writer’s toolbox.

According to thejohnfox.com, a successful query often includes a combo of:

1. A strong voice
2. Suspense
3. Delightful characters
4. References (to known authors or one’s own experience)
5. Clarity and concision.

I love to know your query letter resources too. Thank you.
