Personal info in Query - Beginning or End
Author: Chris Almand (12.31.12.---)

I have a feeling the general consensus is going to be "doesn't matter," but I was wondering if anyone had a preference over putting the personal spiel (I'd like to submit my XXXX novel for your consideration...my work has appeared in XXXX, I am querying you because of XXXX) at the beginning or end of the query letter.

I was drafting a query, but I wanted my hook right off the bat (right after the greeting). I was talking to someone last night and they said always put your reason for writing right after the greeting and THEN jump into your book summary.

What are your preferences, and does it really not matter? Thanks.
