Query Letter & Book Synopsis Editing Services

Shop your book to agents with a pitch perfect query letter and book synopsis.

Get started

s need query letters and book synopses to get their book in front of literary agents, editors, and publishers, hoping it leads to a traditional book deal. But writing a query letter is very different from writing your book and it isn’t easy—the short letter has to captivate and make your book stand out from all of the others. This often requires the help of a professional editor.

Make your first impression memorable with our new professional query letter and book synopsis review and editing services. Our editors (the same world-class pros that do our book editing) can review and strengthen both your existing query letter and the synopsis of your book so that they are compelling and convey what your book is about.
