On average, a query letter only has ten seconds to hook a literary agent’s attention.
And with the thousands of queries these professionals receive every year, these stats can seem a bit grim.
But here’s the thing: It is possible to set yourself up for success.
Whether you’re just joining the query trenches and need some guidance on your journey, or you’re looking to renew your package, we have something for every stage to ensure you’re putting your best foot forward in front of agents.
1. No more confusion
My goal is to demystify the querying process and provide insider tips and tricks to grab agents’ attention right from the start.
2. No more second-guessing
I know the correct information to include in your package and the proper etiquette for addressing/following up with agents.
3. No more loneliness
I’m here to support you through thick and thin to turn this otherwise arduous process into an enjoyable one, all the way to that first “yes!”
AUTHORS REPRESENTED BY…
Here’s how I can help:
Query Letter
$50
Start from the beginning with a critique of your query letter, where we’ll workshop your opening, hook, author bio, closure, and housekeeping details.
Letter + Sample Pages

Or add on your first 10 pages too. Agents will use this to determine if you know storytelling fundamentals, and in this service, we’ll make sure you nail every necessity of a first chapter and more.
Letter + Sample Pages + Synopsis
$100
Or, get the full package! Writing synopses can already be difficult, so let’s polish it off and ensure every requirement and juicy detail of your story is met.

“I cannot thank Makenna enough for her guidance and professionalism when reviewing and editing my query package. Her comments were in-depth, constructive and incredibly thorough. I feel she went above and beyond to ensure that all my questions were answered and has given me the best possible start on my querying journey. I would definitely recommend her to any writer.”
