Query Swap Twitter Event Coming June 1, 2017
Query Swap is happening from 8am-8pm EST on June 1, 2017.
Query Swap is not a contest. It’s an opportunity for writers to help other writers. There won’t be mentors or agents. This is for writers only. Each participant will have the opportunity to find a new critique partner and exchange feedback on queries. Everyone gets feedback. Everyone’s query improves. Everyone wins. How to participate:
