About this Gig

Shape your query letter into the strongest pitch possible to win the readers of your dreams. I'll help you write a query that's concise, effective, and targeted to your audience. 


For self-publishing authors, I give feedback on the book blurb and back cover copy under this gig.


Line-by-line feedback includes grammatical corrections, suggestions to make the text more vivid, questions to clarify aspects of the story, and trimming less necessary details (in a query, every word counts!).


The Basic gig includes general feedback on content and organization to help you know if you're on the right track.


Additionally, I can offer feedback on your synopsis (with the Premium gig level) and/or on your first chapter (as an order add-on) to make sure the entire submissions package shines at its best.


It's common for a query to involve multiple drafts. So that you don't feel rushed to edit, I offer additional drafts as order add-ons with additional completion time, or I can follow up with a custom Order Offer to see your revised version.

    Therese did a fantastic job, and managed to talk me out of my preconceptions, with patience and gentle persuasion. Thanks to her I believe my query letter is in a much better shape now. I will hire her again soon.

    Therese repeatedly pinned down issues with my query letter and identified ways it could be made better. That is exactly what I wanted and I appreciate all her helpful comments and observations!

    Loved working with Therese and getting her feedback! It was extremely thorough and helpful and really helped me understand the inner workings of a query and just how much every word counts. Hoping to be able to work with her again in the future! :)

    So much insight and such a thorough review of my query letter and synopsis! The insights were extremely helpful on what would appeal to agents and the feedback was well explained and thorough. It was also provided ahead of time, which was amazing. Thanks!
