About this Gig
Getting ready to query literary agents or publishers? I'll provide professional, actionable feedback on your fiction query letter and submission materials to help you present your story as effectively as possible.
As a publisher and fiction editor, I've worked with authors across multiple genres and helped develop books and multi-book series from manuscript through publication. Books I've edited have gone on to receive literary awards and recognition.
I'll evaluate your query's hook, clarity, characters, conflict, stakes, story pitch, and overall effectiveness. Depending on the package you choose, I can also review your synopsis and opening manuscript pages.
My goal isn't to rewrite your work or change your voice. It's to give you straightforward, industry-informed feedback, so you can strengthen your submission with confidence.

FAQ
What types of queries do you review?
I review query letters for fiction across a variety of genres. If you’re unsure whether your project is a good fit, feel free to message me before ordering.
Will you rewrite my query letter for me?
No. I’ll provide clear, actionable feedback to help you strengthen your query while preserving your voice. The goal is to help you improve your own submission, not rewrite it for you.
What will you evaluate in my query letter?
I’ll evaluate your hook, clarity, characters, conflict, stakes, story pitch, and overall effectiveness, including whether the query creates enough interest to make someone want to read more.
What is included in the Standard and Premium packages?
Standard and Premium include your query letter plus feedback on your synopsis and opening manuscript pages. Please see the package descriptions for the number of pages included with each.
What does one revision include?
One revision includes a follow-up review of your revised query letter after you’ve considered my initial feedback. It does not include another review of your synopsis or manuscript pages.
Can you guarantee representation or publication?
No. No editor can guarantee representation or publication. I’ll provide professional, industry-informed feedback designed to help you present your story and submission materials as effectively as possible.
What format should I submit my materials in?
Microsoft Word is preferred. Please clearly label your query letter, synopsis, and manuscript pages when submitting the materials included with your package.
