The Query Crash Course is a packet that I created for all writers either in the querying trenches or looking to join the query trenches soon.

 

The packet features the basics like what is a literary agent, a query, and synopsis, to how to write a query and synopsis, quick tips, where to find a literary agent, examples of introductions to agents if they requested your materials due to an event or if you have received editor interest, right down to querying again after being previously repped.

 

I have also included how to nudge agents - either in general OR with an offer of rep, provided resources and examples, I've also added in a bonus of questions to ask an agent on the call.

I am editing in MG, YA, and A and will read anything except for Non-Fiction, it's outside of my wheelhouse. Also, do not send me ANYTHING where a child is hurt in any way (meaning sexual or physical abuse). Previous trauma regarding this for your characters is okay. Finally, nothing where an animal dies please, my animal-obsessed heart can't take it.
