Resist Miss Snark barked, resist  Dear Miss Snark,  This is
probably a nit-wit question, but I'm curious, so I'll go stand
in the nit-wit corner and ask anyway. Have you ever gotten a
creative query? (ie. A query for a pirate book on the back of a
treasure map. Or maybe a package with a skeleton key, a shot
glass, and a golf ball with the query saying "These were the
only clues left for Detective Sly in the case of the missing
golfer". Or perhaps a query in a mock up of the book they are
trying to sell.) If you do get creative queries, are they
annoying or welcome? I'm itching to send a creative query, but
wondering if this would make me look bad. If so, I'll stuff my
creativity into the trash and force myself into conformity.  Oh
yes, I get these. They go directly in the trash. Do NOT do this.
I don't care if anyone tells you they did it and got published.
Don't do this.  First, if you're querying a lot of agents,
you're going to spend a lot of money. Save your money for
promotion where you'll need it.  Seco
