David Wickenden Query Letter Draft One
Dear Producer
It’s hard enough to get away with murdering child abusers without having your best friend hunting for you.
Laura, a driven psychiatrist, has firsthand experienced of the damage left behind by child abusers. She learned to fight from the people she serves, cops and the military. Laura begins a crusade to bring real justice to those who hurt children. But now her best friend and RCMP officer Janice is tasked with hunting her down.
When the guilty have more rights than the innocent, what options are left?
Molested as a child, Janice believes in the Law. But having seen criminals walk because of a technicality, she questions whether the legal system really works. Her job pits her against her best friend and the very woman who saved her years ago.
If you like the concept, I’d be happy to send you the script.
I am an award-winning author who has adapted several of my books for film.

David Wickenden

Dear Producer:

Victoria, a lone wolf cop with a bad-ass attitude, must work within an undercover team to bring down a human trafficking ring. The main trafficker, Jack is a cocaine addicted, sexual deviant, who just happens to be the last man seen with her sister Lizzie.
Until Victoria showed up, Jack and his human traffickers were able to fly under police radar because of their inside man. But the mole’s gone dark. Jack’s new venture is raided by police. And, undercover Victoria is arrested.

Deb’s Query Letter Draft ONE
What I learned… Writing hooks and making them as interesting as possible is the key to a good query letter. I am excited to get some feedback and would appreciate any and all comments. You can email me: ddomm1130@hotmail.com
Title: The Plastic Bag
Genre: Drama
A plastic bag passes from one owner to another and affects each life in a significant way.
Could a father be merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love?
Delia doesn’t know what this looks like. Her own father left when she was six years old. She shattered a glass door trying to chase him down – and she’s got scars. Now she’s a snarky teenager, addicted to her phone, and suspended from school for cyberbullying.
Her rough-and-tumble grandma, Abby, tosses that phone out the car window. They’re on their way to visit Abby’s oldest friend…. the uber-famous, yet grounded artist, Torrie Hartman, who has woven the stories of the Plastic Bag into her new art exhibit. Each piece of art comes alive as she narrates.
This cursed bag wreaks havoc in every life it touches, and this gets Delia’s attention. Will she allow herself to be drawn into the messy drama? It doesn’t look like it when she sneaks away and almost kills herself trying to buy a new phone.
Turns out the stories are true and based on both Torrie and Abby’s trials – except the real endings are tragic. Delia is moved. Finally, Torrie reveals how her artwork is theological and paints a picture of God the Father.
The door to life is open for Delia. Does she have faith to step through?
Bio: I have a BA in Film from Columbia College, Chicago. I’m also a theological junkie and have logged thousands upon thousands of hours studying the Bible and learning about God the Father.

Terrell’s Query Letter Draft 2
What I learned doing this assignment is to trust the hooks and don’t be so wordy
Genre horror, fantasy
Title: The Darkness
OPENING HOOK: When two foreigners travel to the Philippines they discover that every monster, every spell, every curse, every backwater belief is 100% real.
Synopsis: This is a diverse story that intersects different cultures with a single root in spirituality and folklore.
Western men flock to the Philippines for wives or girlfriends knowing little about the culture and less about the folklore.
When a local business woman risks everything to build a resort on land cursed by a powerful witch, two foreign guests discover the dark side of Philippine folklore.
When the resort owner fights back, the witch ups the ante by covering the entire resort in a monster filled inky darkness that ordinary light can’t penetrate. Trapped, the foreigners learn this under belly of Philippines society is all too real and try to take action, but they have no idea what they’re dealing with. Fortunately the resort owner has her own plan, a sandugo or blood pact.
If you like the concept, I’d be happy to send you the script.
Bio: I’ve spent time in the Philippines interviewing locals about the folklore. I made a gris-gris bag (an African talisman believed capable of warding off evil and bringing good luck) for a friend in the Philippines who claimed she was under attack by witches. She said the counter measure was effective.
I placed as a quarter finalist in the Los Angeles International Screenplay Diversity Initiative Contest in 2023.

Title: The 26th Apprentice

What I learned doing this assignment is: writing from the hooks can really elevate a query letter.
Title: Dating with Demons
GENRE: Horror
Dear Producer,
An exorcism can really mess up your dating life.
All Bethany wants is one, decent date, but her demon and her priest won’t allow it.
Demon 23, despite being exorcised from Bethany, still hangs around acting more like a toxic ex than a supernatural force. And Priest Anders assigns her penance every time she swipes right. Bethany vows to stop all the bad dating, but where to begin.
Then she stumbles upon an unlikely support group: The Survivors of Bethany.
Someone has been sending Bethany’s suitors evidence of her demonic entanglement. As she digs deeper, she discovers that Deacon Anders is not only behind the betrayal, but he’s a closet occultist with plans to kill Bethany as the catalyst to possessing his way to the Vatican for the papacy.
Can Bethany and Demon 23 put aside their differences and stop Deacon Anders before it’s too late? Or even worse, can she deal with Demon 23’s realization that he wants to love her, not possess?
Did Linda Blair have to deal with any of this dating nonsense after her exorcism?

If anyone is interested in further discussing, Ken is at kturocy@yahoo.com
Dear Producer,
Title: Enola
Genre: Dark Comedy, sports
My sports comedy includes gambling, drugs, and murder, and if I asked you, which sport would you guess? Probably not golf, and most likely not the LPGA. Enola is a rock-star, golf-phenom, who against all odds, crashes the ranks of professional golf.
Enola is a Serial Killer Sports Comedy, and not in that order.
We all know about the superstitious pre-game rituals that many athletes have, their specialized diets, and the hard work, super- dedication to their sport. Can I ask you one more question, if you wanted something so much, would you do anything to get it?
Most athletes never achieve the Pro-level, once there earning a win professionally is a lifetime memory, and only a select few achieve greatness.
Enola reluctantly makes a deal with the devil, her brother, in his sobriety as he takes over as her caddy. She discovers then develops an unusual winning habit, and she continues her journey while trying to confess to her strangely tone-deaf supporters.
Would you be willing to read my script? If so, I’ll send that your way. I’ve had two of my screenplays optioned, and I’m eager to work and collaborate to make Enola a hit.
All the best,
Ken Turocy

I’m at kturocy@yahoo.com if you’d like to talk about my Query #2
Dear Producer,
My script Enola is a Serial Killer Sports Comedy, but not in that order.
Enola is a young female golf-phenom who, with her working class roots, single-parent upbringing, and against all odds crashes the highly competitive ranks of the LPGA.
Enola will do anything to win, coming in second place is not an option. She makes a deal with the devil, her brother in his sobriety taking over as her caddy.
Enola will do anything to win, and executing a kill equals an LPGA win.
Can killing be justified, and can killing be funny? Yes and Yes, but…am I really laughing at this, and can I root for her? Yes and Yes again. It’s all part of the fun, Enola is an accidental killer after a fight with her addict brother’s drug dealer. And, she is an apologetic killer trying to confess to her tone-deaf supporters.
Would you be willing to read my script? If so, I’ll send that your way. I’ve had two of my screenplays optioned, and I’m eager to work and collaborate to make Enola a hit.
All the best,
Ken Turocy

Lin’s Query Letter Draft TWO
Dear Producer,
Title: The 26th Apprentice
Written by Lin Fuentes
Genre: Bio/drama
Sparkies were all men in the sexist 70s, but that didn’t stop a naive, petite, 21 year old woman.
Based on a true story, Linda fights gender discrimination during her rigorous four year electrical apprenticeship program. Facing obstacles from the very start including an unfair entry exam, her determination never wavers. When she’s denied entry into the program, she takes legal action against the union and wins, becoming the 26th apprentice alongside her 25 male classmates.
With one battle won, the hostility increases as she navigates a male-dominated world. Linda is in a foreign country having never been on a construction site and is seen as a foreigner/interloper in their environment as they point and stare at her which makes her uncomfortably conscience of being the object of their observation. Twice she has to fend off sexual aggression from men who are twice as big and twice as old as she is that had befriended her. Who can she trust?
As per apprenticeship protocol every six months apprentices are rotated out of their current job site to a new one. With each new job site Linda uncovers new fears and academic challenges along with the union’s strategic efforts to oust her putting her dreams to the ultimate test.
Can one woman break through deep-seated bias and change the hearts and minds of men, or is their prejudice insurmountable?
If you like the concept of The 26th Apprentice, I own all the rights and would be delighted to send you the script.

John Woodward’s Query Letter – Draft One
Doing this assignment, I learned more about writing a query letter.
Question 1.
TO ANYONE WHO READS THIS PLEASE VOTE for the best opening hook to a noir-thriller
A, B, or C below:
A. Allison Van Zandt, the abused wife of a notorious broker of black-market art, to her lover: I realized at an early age that under the right circumstances, I was capable of anything.
B. If the potential payoff were a $20 million masterpiece, would you put your life on the line for an alluring woman who might not be worthy of trust?
C. The Takedown Artist is a neo-noir thriller about a washed-up cage fighter who risks his life to steal a $20-million masterpiece with a mysterious and seductive woman who might not be worthy of trust.
QUESTION 2.
The Takedown Artist: a neo-noir thriller
Synopsis
A washed-up cage fighter meets an alluring woman hours before her estranged husband, a notorious broker of black-market art, tries to kill her. Desperate to start a new life, she persuades the fighter to help her steal a cursed El Greco masterpiece from her husband who stole it from a barbaric Russian expatriate in L.A. to shop the hot masterpiece — “trophy art” stolen during World War II.
Their plan rebounds on them when the husband is killed during the heist. In their struggle to escape the Russian barbarian and the police, they fall in love, but can you trust your lover when the tie that binds is murder? Is the seductress an abused wife desperate to free herself from a controlling husband — or a world-class con artist?
A mysterious murder, a cursed masterpiece, a gauntlet of MMA battles, and a decadent LA underworld forge a noir canvas where love, greed, trust and betrayal slug it out toe-to-toe.
