Here's the finished product...
Dear [Awesome Agent]:
Katie Morland is about to spend the weekend in a haunted house. Lucky for her, the guy of her dreams is sleeping right across the hall.
Eighteen-year-old Katie has always been sweet and caring, but sometimes she's just a little too naïve for her own good. Thanks to her newfound obsession with horror movies, she's become convinced ghosts and ghouls actually do exist. So, when Katie meets Hal Tilney, who's not only charming and smart but also happens to live in one of the most haunted houses in America – the home where The Amityville Horror took place – she thinks she's found the perfect guy for her. The down side? Hal believes all the stories of hauntings and demon possession were just one big hoax.
When Katie is invited to visit Hal's house, she has high hopes the weekend will send chills up her spine in more ways than one. But in Amityville, Hal seems distant and unfeeling. Could the source of Hal's sudden coldness be his infamous house? Katie is determined to find out if demons do haunt these halls and if she can win Hal's heart forever. But, little does she know that indulging her horror-fueled imagination might lead to something really frightening – losing the guy she loves.
HIGH HOPES, my 50,000-word young adult novel, is a modern retelling of Jane Austen's classic, Gothic parody, Northanger Abbey. Since you [insert reason for querying here], I thought my work might be a good fit for you. I have a bachelor's degree in English and currently work as a writer and editor for American Greetings.
At the end of this email you will find [requested materials].Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Lisa Galek
