Refine your query letter, strategize your querying approach, and learn to sell yourself, and your book, to literary agents with the power to get you published.

Querying can be just as frustrating as it is exciting. You’ve dreamed of the moment that your manuscript is polished and you’re finally to finally pursue a literary agent in hopes of a book deal. There’s a chance you’ve sent out dozens of queries in exchange for silence and thoughts of where you went wrong.

An effective query letter balances your personality as a writer, a strategic approach tailored to the litagent you hope to engage, and the ability to sell yourself as an author with longstanding potential.

1-on-1 Query Letter Reviews are designed to give you the querying insight, critique, and targeted approach you need to write a memorable query.
