About this Gig
Agents and editors see many submissions in their inboxes every week, so the quality of your query matters almost as much as the book itself. For writers of adult and YA fiction, I can offer you honest and constructive feedback on your query letter, synopsis, and the first couple of pages/chapters of your manuscript, and help you craft an impressive pitch for any genre.
If you choose to work with me, I'm also happy to offer general publishing advice and help you answer any questions you have about the industry!

- 3+ years as a publishing professional, in Editorial and Sales
- 4+ years of experience as a freelance copy editor
- Experience working or interning at 2 out of 5 of the Big Five publishers
- Certificate in publishing, Columbia Publishing Course, Columbia Journalism School
- BA in English literature
My levels:
- Basic: query letter (critique & light proofread)
- Standard: query letter, synopsis (critique & proofread), first chapter of manuscript (critique only)

FAQ
How will you deliver your critique?
I will write you a critique in the Delivery section of your Order page, and leave comments in the Word document if necessary. If you request proofreading or line edits, I will use Track Changes in Word.
Will you critique my nonfiction query letter, proposal overview, and/or book proposal?
Yes! Please message me the details and I can send you a custom order with a price comparable to this gig.
Will you edit my manuscript or book proposal?
Not here, but I have a separate gig for editing longer works, which you can find on my profile!
