Query Letters are screenplay proposals sent to Studios and Agents for consideration to option or purchase, with the end-goal of seeing your work on the screen and making a million dollars. Now a case could be made that you'd be better off purchasing a lotto tix or paning for gold in Napa, but brave, hopeful folks everywhere tap out their ideas and send them in.

The Empress at Query Letters I Love compiles actual letters that are sent in for your pleasure and pain. Peruse a few and see why Script Readers have a higher level of substance abuse than normal in Hollywood.
