Submission Package FAQ
What is included in a submission package review?
A submission package review includes feedback on your query letter, synopsis, and first pages. I focus on clarity, positioning, stakes, voice, and market alignment.
How is this different than a developmental edit?
Developmental editing strengthens the manuscript itself. A submission package review focuses on how you present your book to agents—ensuring your pitch reflects the strongest version of your story.
How many rounds are included?
Submission package reviews include:
-
Two rounds of edits on your query letter
-
One pass on your synopsis
-
One pass on your opening pages
Additional rounds can be booked if needed.
What do you look for in a query letter?
I evaluate hook strength, genre clarity, stakes, character motivation, voice, and overall structure—ensuring your pitch feels professional and compelling.
Do you rewrite my query letter?
I provide suggestions, examples, and restructuring recommendations, but the final wording remains yours. My goal is to strengthen clarity and impact while preserving your voice.
Can you help with comps?
Yes. If you’re struggling with comparable titles, I can offer suggestions based on your genre, tone, and positioning.
Do you help build a query list?
While this service focuses on your materials, I’m happy to provide guidance on researching agents and building a submission strategy.
When should I book this service?
Book a submission package review when:
-
Your manuscript is fully revised
-
You’re preparing to query agents
-
You want professional eyes on your pitch before sending
Can I combine this with other services?
Yes. Many authors combine submission package review with a developmental edit or manuscript critique for stronger alignment between manuscript and pitch.
