Do I need a query letter review?

Crafting a knock-out query letter is an entirely different task than writing a book. If you’ve already drafted yours, you might have questions: Did you include all the right details? Have you given away too much in your summary? Is the letter exciting enough to get agents interested?

A query letter review is the best way to answer your questions and set yourself up for success while querying. With the advice of a professional editor at your back, you can start querying with full confidence in your materials. While a query letter review can’t guarantee responses or offers of representation, it can make all the difference in developing a brilliant letter that will capture agents’ interest rather than getting lost in the noise.
