Are your opening pages up to the task? Opening paragraph? Opening line? Through feedback, prompts, and rewriting, this is your chance to deepen the opening and lay the groundwork for the story to come.

You've finished your novel. You're ready to submit to agents and editors. It's time to write your query and symopsis. To be honest, these are two of the hardest things you'll write.

I will critique your query and synopsis, looking to focus your 2 page synopsis so the story, character arcs and voice come through, and make sure the mini-synopsis in the body of the query hooks the right agent.

In addition, we will work together to hone your audience and find the right comps to include in the letter. The goal? Have a solid professional query and synopsis ready to send out.
