OK, i know it's gonna be nigh-on impossible to get an agent, considering i've never had anything published or sold, but i'm going to try anyway. This is the first piece of my writing i've ever seriously thought might be any good.
Problem is i'm having real trouble knowing how to disguise my lack of experience, when it comes to writing a short (3 line or thereabouts) biography in my initial enquiry letter. I mean, i have life experience, but i'm not really sure how to make any of it work in my favour. i've been a SAHM for nearly 3 years, and that's what's really prompted me to go back and try my hand at writing again, but that's not something a literary agent's going to give two hoots about, is it?
Anyone else had to do this?

I'm 3/4 of the way through my screenplay. Now I need advice on query letters to agents...
