Query critiques and coaching
Landing an agent starts with an amazing query.
The querying process can make you question everything.
Querying literary agents can feel like an endless struggle. You begin querying agents because you believe in your work. But the querying process can leave you feeling deflated and unsure.
Are you receiving form rejections and crickets because your story is lacking? Or because your query didn’t hit the right notes?
Let’s remove the uncertainty
After signing with my own literary agent, I continued learning everything I could about how to write the strongest possible query.
For the years since, I have been helping authors develop effective queries through critiques and my popular query coaching sessions.
To any author who is considering getting their query read and revised but isn’t quite sure, please do it. The feedback I received on both my query letter and sample pages was extremely helpful and pointed out things I had hardly considered. My query letter is completely unrecognizable in the best way possible.
As a new writer, I found myself drowning in a sea of information I found on the internet regarding querying, first ten pages, synopsis, and such. [Victoria] tossed me a line, showed me how to swim, and pointed me toward the shore.
I am so glad I took that first step to inquire about services with [Victoria]. I was uncertain how to proceed with improving my writing and querying and once I had that first conversation, I immediately felt at ease. A writing career is important enough to seek and secure professional help in order to keep moving forward. I only wish I had sought the services of Victoria Griffin much earlier!
I love how professional Victoria is in everything she does. I think she knows the publishing industry and can provide aspiring writers with great insight into the secrets of the trade. I love how she made me feel comfortable talking about my project and that she understood all the different aspects of my novel. Victoria was a perfect match for me.
