About this Gig

The query letter is arguably the single most important document you will craft as an author seeking traditional publication. This service is for authors who are ready to query agents and want an elite, industry-standard evaluation before hitting send and for those who know their query needs work, but just don't know where to start. Big-picture elements and line-level writing is included in your document using Track Changes and Show Comments in Word (or Google Docs). (Track Changes must remain on if ordering two rounds.)


As an editor, I've helped thousands of authors with their query submissions, and since I'm also a literary agent, I see hundreds more in any given month, so you can be sure the industry insights & knowledge I provide will be helpful!


** Please ensure a maximum of 1 page for your single-spaced query letter and 1000 words for your single-spaced synopsis for the listed price. If your query or synopsis is longer, I can help pare it down for an additional charge in increments of 500 words. For two rounds, please leave Track Changes on in Word to receive the reduced revision fee. Otherwise, the regular rate will apply.

    Kathleen did an amazing job. She was very thorough with great attention to detail. The synopsis was difficult to put together. I have a dual timeline, lots going on, and a few characters. She's given me a bit of a roadmap for me to follow. On top of that, she delivered days before the due date. Much appreciated. I will be using her again!

Kathleen is very specific in pointing out which parts can be improved. I know suggestions can be subjective, but I can...

    Kathleen was a pleasure to work with! She was very quick to respond and finish the job, and her feedback was thorough and insightful. She helped me cut my long query letter down without removing any of the important details, and was willing to answer all my burning questions. I would definitely work with her again in the future.

    Kathleen sent feedback so quick, and so detailed! Loved the tracked changes because it really allowed me to see where I needed to cut down, or clean up. Great insight as well!
