FAQ

What experience do you have?

I'm an agented author represented by Stacey Kondla. I've queried three manuscripts and won awards on each, including the "First5Pages Workshop" for my most recent query template and first pages. So, yeah, I've been into this querying gig a while.

How do I know this will help me get an agent?

My expertise is in submission and book doctoring, not only editing. Like any other marketer worth his sale, I'll tell you that you need more than a quality product to stand out. I'll tell you exactly what tweaks and hacks you need to use to stand out in all the right ways to land your agent You'll get an honest appraisal of your query, with line by line edits and a phone call. When you get your agent, then I'll offer blurbs and more support, since I saw your work early and hopefully you took my advice. Unlike other critique services, I'm not trying to make a buck here. I just want to network with up and coming writers, AKA, you.

Why do you do all this?

I don't make money from query critiques. All proceeds go to hosting costs and driving traffic to this site. Any leftover goes to Better World Books charity, but there isn't usually a whole lot. I do an affordable critique service to meet new and aspiring authors, to network and solidify my presence in the writing community.  You get  a cheap query critique and I get more people interested in my stuff. Win, win.

How long does it take?

About 3 days. I often finish sooner.

What do you clients say?

"My letter is so much smoother! Looking forward to my free second critique before I send this out."
-Victoria S, First Customer and author of "Windless"

"Thanks for your honesty! I'm glad we connected."
-Nathan F, query letter taken from 1.5 pages to 1 page
