Why Most Authors Struggle with Writing a Query Letter
Condensing your book is harder than writing it.
Authors often struggle with query letters not because their story is weak – but because it’s hard to pitch. Our service bridges that gap by highlighting your book’s strengths, voice, and hook for industry professionals.
Your plot is rich, but your pitch lacks clarity
Your themes are powerful, but your synopsis sounds flat
You know your story - but we help agents see its market value

Frequently Asked Questions About Query Letters
What is the difference between a query letter and a synopsis?
A query letter is a concise pitch meant to hook an agent or editor. A synopsis is a longer summary that outlines your book’s full plot, including the ending.
How do I know if my query letter is strong enough?
A good query letter clearly shows your hook, stakes, and genre. It should generate curiosity, match the tone of your manuscript, and follow publishing standards. Our editors help you hit all those marks.
Do traditional publishers still require query letters in 2024?
Yes. Most literary agents and many publishers still expect a query letter when you submit unsolicited manuscripts, especially in fiction and narrative nonfiction.
Can you help me pitch to a specific agent or imprint?
Absolutely. If you have someone in mind, we tailor your materials to their guidelines and preferences to increase your chances.
Can I send a half-finished manuscript or outline?
Yes. We can help you create a pitch that sells the concept effectively.
What genres do you specialize in?
We cover all genres – from thrillers and romance to memoirs and non-fiction. Editors are matched based on your story type.
What if I don’t like the draft?
We include up to 2 rounds of revisions and prioritize your feedback. Your final approval is required.
Do I need all three documents?
Not always. For agents, a query and synopsis are usually enough. Contests often ask for all three.
What’s the turnaround time?
5–7 business days for first drafts. Revisions are completed within 3–4 days.
