MEETING OF HONESTY is a romantic sci-fi featuring first contact if it was a (messy) workplace rivals-to-lovers with bureaucratic satire. Expect iridescent aliens, scheming, and copious amounts of paperwork. TRANSLATION STATE X (MOSTLY) HUMAN RESOURCES #DVparty

Moodboard featuring paperwork covered in highlighters, a moth, a chessboard, blue moss growing on a tree, a moody beach, and red leaves. In front of the images is art of Gloria, a human woman in business attire holding a clipboard over the bottom half of her face.

A query letter issue I've repeatedly seen lately is the plot summary reading like this: "X happened. Then Y happened. Then Z happened." Instead, it should read: "BECAUSE X happened, Y happened. BECAUSE Y happened, Z happened." Show how the events in your novel are connected. #Querying #WritingTip

Hot take! Your query letter wasn’t what got you an agent offer or multiple of that. It was your manuscript that got you an agent offer, your query letter was what got you a request. I’ve seen a lot of authors and writers mix that up. Either way, they need to work together.

#10Queries 10: A, SF/S FF are just pages of the MC’s interior narrative. No dialogue, or characters. This will not help to engage your reader, inspire an editor or hook an agent. Try an approach that portrays your MC & story in a more 3D manner. Think more meat & potatoes than bone broth😁 #RevPit

Hi! I’m a Nigerian writer and emerging editor focused on editing and query development. Quick query tip: If it’s not clear what your protagonist wants and what they stand to lose, your hook will feel weaker. When revising, ask: what’s at risk, and why does it matter right now?
