FAQs
Quick answers for common questionsHow long should a query be
Aim for 250 to 350 words. Keep sentences clean and direct
Do I need comps
Yes. Use two or three current comps in the same lane. Avoid blockbusters unless your book is truly similar
Can I personalize one line only
Yes. One specific reference is better than a long paragraph. Name an interview or wishlist item that matches your book
Should I paste pages or attach
Follow each agent’s posted rules. If they request pasted pages, include them below your letter. Do not attach files without permission
What if my word count is outside the norm
State it honestly. If you are far outside typical ranges, address why in a short line only if asked later
