Tantalize literary agents with these simple-yet-not-obvious tricks for your book pitch. Plus, a line-by-line case study of the query letter for The Crown's Game.
I agree with Mesa! Last January I purchased a "book writing masterclass" from another best-seller. The query section was vague, and I remember my biggest takeaway was the idea to compare our own manuscripts to popular titles on the shelves today, but I love your take of blending TWO popular titles that have been published to give a better idea and feel of your work!
Thank you for this masterclass of a newsletter for querying!
Oh my goodness, thank you for saying such lovely things! (And I just saw your Substack note, too! *blushing*)
I'm really glad this was helpful for you! I was worried it was too long and boring, but it seems like all the detail was actually useful. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Thank you, Evelyn, this is so generous and helpful! It’s one thing to share a tip + example. It’s another thing to break it down section by section. Thanks again!
I just love your newsletters...so informative! (And while not the focus, I loved the share about rereading "Outlander" because Gabaldon's style doesn't influence your own while you're in the midst of a manuscript. Such a good point!)
This is so helpful--thank you! I'm glad you included an example. I've written a logline for my wip, but I'll need to tackle the query letter in the *hopefully* near future. (I'm at the revising stage.)
Evelyn, this is all so generous of you! And so incredibly helpful for those of us pondering querying :) Appreciate you!!
I am SO glad, Mesa!

I will be referencing back here for ages to come! Thank you for a true behind-the-scenes look at success!! Happy Weekend Evelyn!
This is so brilliantly helpful, Evelyn. Thank you.
Once again, I must implore Substack to add a save feature!

Thanks for making me smile this weekend, Monika! You're so very welcome!

So excited for you that you’re close, Steph!
