About this Gig
Your query letter is the first thing an agent reads. It needs to be sharp, specific, and impossible to put down in 250 words or less.
Most query letters fail not because the book is bad, but because the letter doesn't capture what makes the story worth reading. I'll help you fix that.
What you'll receive:
- A line-by-line edit of your query letter with tracked changes
- Notes on hook, plot summary, stakes, and comp titles
- One round of follow-up questions answered
I specialize in Romance, YA, and Women's Fiction queries the genres where I know both the books and what agents are looking for.
If you're also working on your synopsis, add it on and I'll review both.

FAQ
What's included in a query letter edit?
You'll receive your query letter back with tracked changes and margin comments explaining my edits — covering hook, plot summary, stakes, voice, comp titles, and overall agent-readiness. One revision round is included after delivery.
My query letter isn't working but I don't know why. Can you help?
Yes — that's exactly what this service is for. Sometimes the issue is the hook, sometimes it's how the plot is summarized, sometimes the stakes aren't clear. I'll identify what's not working and show you how to fix it.
Do you write the query letter for me?
No — I edit and strengthen what you've written. If you need a query letter written from scratch, that's a different service. Message me and we can discuss options.
What if I don't have comp titles yet?
I'll flag it in my notes and offer suggestions based on your manuscript's genre and tone. Comp titles are important for agents — I'll help you think through options if you're stuck.
How current is your knowledge of the query market?
I stay current with publishing industry trends, agent preferences, and what's selling in Romance and YA. I'll flag anything in your query that feels out of step with current market expectations.
Can you review my full synopsis too?
Yes — the Standard package includes a synopsis up to two pages, and the Premium package includes your first ten pages as well. If you need a longer synopsis reviewed, message me for a custom quote.
What if I need my query reviewed quickly?
The Basic package delivers in three days. If you need it faster, message me before ordering and I'll let you know if I can accommodate a rush.
