Project details
Hello! As a regularly publishing book and magazine author, I have written over 100 successful queries and pitches to editors, publishers, and agents. I bring this expertise to every query letter I write. Let's get your book published!
OPTIONS:
1) FULL REVISION (Starter): You already have a query letter, but you would like an experienced writer to improve it. Using your information from my Query Letter Worksheet, plus an optional call, I will fully revise your query letter to better grab the attention of acquisitions editors and agents.
2) GHOSTWRITTEN (Standard): You have completed a book, and you want me to ghostwrite a professional-quality query letter. I will use your info from my worksheet, follow-up questions, and a phone call--during which I can also offer basic advice on how to query.
3) GHOSTWRITTEN with PUBLISHING GUIDANCE (Advanced): In addition to fully ghostwriting your query letter, discussed above, I will help you develop a custom PROMOTIONAL and PLATFORM strategy to best convince an agent or publisher. I will help you develop a targeted SUBMISSIONS PLAN, and I will provide recommendations for 6-8 specific agents or 2-4 publishers to query.
