Frequently Asked Questions

A query letter is a one-page pitch to a literary agent introducing your book, yourself, and why you're the right person to write it. It's the first step in traditional publishing.
Most agents require both. The query letter is your pitch; the synopsis tells the full story including the ending.
Most agents request a 1-2 page synopsis. Some ask for longer. We provide both 1-page and 2-page versions.
We recommend querying 10-15 agents at a time in batches, so you can refine your query based on responses.
Rejection is normal in traditional publishing. We help you analyze rejection patterns and refine your query strategy.
