Does anyone know someone who does writes query letters for a fee? And helps authors with the query process?

I know a neurodivergent children's author who needs help with her query letter and the process! She is happy to pay for the service.

NO ADVICE OR "HOW TO'" LINKS PLEASE - Only legimate persons who sell this kind of service!!

Please share!

8/🧵 Your odds of getting traditionally published are better than most people think.

I was an editor in #TraditionalPublishing for years. I saw some truly awful writers make it to bookstores simply because they knew how to catch an editor's attention and sell their work.

Whether it's for short stories or books, you need to know how to RESEARCH the various publishers so you can target which one to send to. Don't waste time sending your vampire romance to a religious publisher.

Whatever their #SubmissionGuidelines, FOLLOW them.

Write a good #QueryLetter with a great HOOK. Catch the attention right off. Don't come across as an amateur or unimaginative.

Some lines to avoid in #QueryLetters include "I always wanted to be a writer" (everyone who submits a manuscript can say that), and "Dear Sir or Madam" (RESEARCH the publisher and verify the editor's name).

After that, you need *persistence* to keep it up until you're published.

Submitting Your Work and Dealing with Rejection

Rejection happens… a LOT. It SHOULD happen a lot, if you’re doing it right. If your manuscript hasn’t been rejected by at least a dozen publishers (preferably more)…

I realized this morning that I have enough stories for a collection. I spent the past couple of hours drafting a query letter for @StelliformPress https://www.stelliform.press/index.php/submissions/ #AmWriting #ShortStories #QueryLetter #SpeculativeFiction

I just had a query letter critiqued by literary agents and it was very helpful. I’ve just rewritten my query letter, and I think it’s much better. This is all for practice since I’m still not quite finished the first draft of my novel. #WritingCommunity #QueryLetter #Querying #PracticeRun
