Agent submission support: getting the package right before you send it.

Most submissions are rejected on the query letter and the first ten pages. This service is about making sure neither of those is the reason yours is.

What this is

If you want to pursue traditional publishing, the submission package does the work: a query letter that positions the book in a paragraph, a synopsis that summarises without deflating it, and opening pages strong enough to earn a full request.

We help you build that package and target it sensibly. What we do not do is submit on your behalf, promise introductions, or charge you for access to agents — none of which is how legitimate representation works.

What you get

What literary agent support actually delivers

01

A query letter that positions

The book, the hook, the comparable titles and your credentials, in the form agents expect to read.

02

A working synopsis

The whole plot including the ending, written so it reads as a story rather than a list of events.

03

Opening pages assessed

The first pages read specifically against the standard they will be judged by.

04

Sensible targeting

How to research agents who actually represent your category, and how to avoid the ones charging fees.

05

Submission tracking guidance

How to record submissions, interpret responses and pace your rounds.

How it runs

The process, stage by stage.

Each stage finishes before the next begins, and you see the work at the points where your decision changes what happens next.

Package review

An assessment of whatever you already have — query, synopsis and opening pages.

Query development

The letter rewritten and refined with you until it does its job.

Synopsis work

A synopsis that summarises the whole book, including the ending, without flattening it.

Opening pages

Editorial attention on the pages agents actually read.

Targeting guidance

How to build and work through a research-based agent list.

Questions

About literary agent support

No. Submissions come from authors, and agents expect that. Anyone offering to submit on your behalf for a fee is not helping you.

Absolutely not, and nobody can. This service improves the package. The decision belongs to agents.

A real question with real trade-offs on both sides, and the honest answer depends on your book, your timeline and what you want from it. We will talk it through without steering you toward the option that earns us more.
