Note: Query Letter Builder currently only supports fiction queries, not non-fiction proposals.

WHY USE A BUILDER?

#DON'T BE A HASHTAG

If you're a writer ready to query an agent or publisher and don't know where to begin, this tool will help you get started. With all the querying hashtags out there, including #querytip and #querydont, it can get pretty intimidating to see so many auto-rejections.

So if you're overwhelmed with amount of information there is about querying, the Query Builder compiles much of it so you don't make simple mistakes that could cost you a rejection.

While QLB is a great tool, it can't critique query content, so make sure to check out our Query Resources page.


LESS WORRY

AVOID AUTO-REJECTIONS

Query Builder is a form that puts together the information you give about your book and yourself, and generates a ready-to-email query.

​ It includes input and helpful tips and warnings for:

  • Agent / editor information
  • Book metadata
  • Salutation and closing
  • Personalization
  • Hook and mini-synopsis
  • Author bio
  • Attachments / sample pages / synopsis
