Query letters can be one of the most difficult things to write; some say even harder than the book itself! An author can be so close to their story that they struggle to boil it down to a few attention-grabbing paragraphs. I will review your query letter to ensure it explains your book in a way that feels exciting and fresh, point out where clarity is needed, and identify your hook. If you’ve sent your query letter out already and are getting nothing but rejections, it could be that it isn’t strong enough to stand out. Let’s work together to change that!
A query letter critique includes one round of revisions, where you submit your changes based on my initial feedback to receive a second set of comments. A query letter can be no more than one single-spaced page, 12pt font. A query letter critique is priced at $50.
