Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go. |
Querying is one of the toughest parts of the industry because it needs attention to detail, patience, and a lot of self-determination. Writers notoriously lack the self-esteem, which is what makes querying so difficult. So, to give you a few hints and helpful tips before submitting, below are a couple articles to help you gain that querying self-esteem and perfect those words!
When all else fails, or if you still feel you need some help, I highly suggest utilizing Susan Dennard's Writing Resources, or Jane Friedman's Writing Advice Archive. Both of these women are amazing sources for writing advice, encouragement, and tricks of the trade and I strongly advise you to go through their articles for writers before submitting a query to any agent or editor.
Now...Are you ready to submit your query?
You can submit your query through e-mail to Kelly@reesagency.com with "Query:" in the subject title, as well as your age range (MG, YA, Adult), genre (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Contemporary, etc.), and the title of your manuscript. Without "Query:" in the subject line, your query will not get sorted into the correct box. I prefer your query letter and synopsis pasted into the e-mail, with your first 10 pages attached as a word document.
In order to submit a submission (i.e. PitMad, Pitch Wars, PitDark, Savvy Authors, Conferences, etc.), please submit through e-mail to Kelly@reesagency.com with "Submission:" in your subject line, as well as the event the pages were requested from, your age range (MG, YA, Adult), genre (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Contemporary, etc.), and the title of your manuscript. Make sure you still paste in your query letter and synopsis, and then attach the requested amount of pages to the e-mail as a word document.
Have a quick question before you submit your query? Use the form below. Please note that I will not answer questions which have already been answered on my website, or that require you to simply do your research. I don't want to be mean and ignore anyone, but if your question can be answered by a simple Google search, you can't expect me to answer and put more time into your question than into my authors. Please, before asking, DO YOUR RESEARCH!
