Perfect Your Query in 3 Steps
with BARBARA KYLE
bestselling author and book coach
Literary agents are gatekeepers. They open the doors to publishers for you – or the doors may stay closed.
To interest agents about your novel, you send them a query.
Agents receive dozens of queries every day. Most are poorly written and get rejected immediately.
With this expert coaching, you'll produce a concise, compelling query that will get agents excited about your book and eager to represent you to publishers.
