Query letters and synopses with AI feedback
Queries are short sales pitches.
What to do
- A typical query is about a page: hook, a short pitch, book details (title, genre, word count, comps), and a brief bio.
- Synopsis: the whole plot including the ending.
- Follow each agent's submission guidelines exactly.
- Don't submit bot-written queries as-is.
