✮✮✮✮✮ Extremely helpful

This book is extremely helpful for not only writers new to the query writing game, but those who've written a ton of them already. It helps walk you through each section of the query, including a number of questions that help you work through the process. What feels most important though is that it helps the whole process feel do-able and you end up with a query you can feel good about.

✮✮✮✮✮ This query guide is a real treasure

This query guide is a real treasure. Well-explained and to the point, it gave me so much information and pointed at everything that I was doing wrong. This workbook is a must-have for anyone thinking about finding an agent to make sure they are doing it right from the get go. It would be a shame to miss an opportunity and burn a bridge because of a disorganized, or plain wrong query letter.
