About this gig
If you're ready to query agents with your novel and you want your literary agent query submission package to be the best it can be, you've come to the right place.
Massive well done to you for finishing your book! It's a huge achievement.
Now comes the scary part: submitting your agent query.
I'm Jessica Ryn and I'm an agented, traditionally published author of two novels with HarperCollins, a professional editor, and a member of the EFA. I'm here to make sure that your agent query package stands out and really wows each literary agent you submit to.
You've worked so hard to write the story only YOU can tell. Let's work together to give it the best chance of being represented and published so that your book can find its way into your readers' hands and hearts.
I will provide:
- A full critique and edit of your cover letter
- A full critique and edit of your synopsis
- A full critique and edit of the first three chapters of your manuscript
- A developmental edit for the rest of your novel (optional)
- Hints and tips for agent query submissions
I currently work with fiction submissions only, and spaces fill up FAST so please send me a message first before ordering. :)

Working with Jessica has been exceptional. She had a lot of deep insights and a great eye for detail, no doubt from her considerable experience, that enhanced my query letter and suggested a lot of helpful revisions for the first few chapters. I would definitely work with her again and can't recommend her highly enough.

This was my first time working with Jessica, and I am floored by her attention to detail and expertise. As a novice in the arena of publishing craft and critique, it has opened my eyes to just how an expert can make the difference between “good” and “great”. 10/10, amazing value. I cannot recommend Jessica...
