Literary Agent Submission Package

A complete literary agent submission package — query letter, synopsis, and agent research — built to get your manuscript read, not rejected on page one.

Literary Agent Submission Package

What This Service Covers

Traditional publishing runs on a different set of rules than self-publishing, and the query letter is usually where manuscripts get filtered out before an agent even opens the sample pages. Our literary agent submission package writers build query letters and synopses that follow the conventions agents expect while still standing out in a crowded inbox.

We also help you build a targeted list of agents actively representing your genre, so your submission goes to people who are actually a fit for your manuscript — not a mass blast that gets ignored.
