I will polish your query for literary agents

About this Gig
The query is one of, if not THE most, important thing to hook agents on your book. Along with a 1-2 page synopsis and 1st chapter, which most agents require during initial submissions, the query provides a fully-rounded flavour of your style of writing, as well as a concise, intriguing pitch for the story you've poured your heart into.
I'm a copyeditor for Story Merchant Books and previously City Owl Press, a mentor in TeenPit 2019, been mentored in Pitch Wars 2017, and I have 8 years' experience of editing queries for fellow writers (most of which are now agented!) so I understand how difficult and frustrating the query trenches can be!
Choosing your package: I will review your Query, OR Query & Synopsis, OR Submission Package, with complete feedback in Word Tracking so that you're better armed for entering the querying trenches, knowing your query is the best it can be.
Let's get you an agent! :)
NOTE: This is not a job where I read your book and / or write a query and synopsis for you. The synopsis and query must both already be written -- plus it's great practice!

FAQ
Will you write the query or synopsis for me?
Unfortunately no - a synopsis and query should come from the actual writer since you know the story best. It's great practice to create a 1-2 page synopsis and query yourself. I will, however, go through any changes I feel you need to make. It's a thorough job.
Which Tier is Right For Me?
Query only: if you want an extra set of eyes on your query only, this is the one. Query & Synopsis: if you're wondering whether both documents make sense and are agent-ready, pick this one Submission Package: want an editorial eye on your query, synopsis, AND important first chapter? This one!
