Query & Synopsis Critique

Polish your pitch. Present your story with power and clarity.

You’ve written the book — now you need to sell it.

Your query letter and synopsis are the first thing agents, editors, and contest judges will see. In a sea of submissions, your pitch materials must be sharp, clear, and compelling — or your manuscript might never get read.

The Query & Synopsis Critique helps you refine your submission package so it captures attention and communicates the core of your novel — in your voice, and with confidence.

  • You’re preparing to query agents or editors

  • You’ve written a synopsis and aren’t sure it works
