Are there any good examples out there or guides that tell you the best way to write your query letter? Maybe I just need to research it better.

I just want to retire to a cabin in the mountains and read books all day cozy by the fireplace — is that so much to ask? 🙃☕️

Writers - have you ever written a book and then decided it may be better off in a different age category and rewrote it to reflect the change? For example, you write a MG fantasy but once complete realize it may work better as a YA fantasy with a few changes…thoughts?

What’s a scene in a book you keep thinking about years later? For me it was the Battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when Professor McGonagall calls the knights and statues to life to defend the castle. 📖🧙🏻

Explaining your book in a query to an agent vs. explaining your book to your best friend over dinner are two completely different skill sets. 😅📖 #writers #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

As a writer, when you’re looking for feedback on your WIP do you prefer it to be brutal and blunt, kind but honest, or do you just want to know if they would keep reading it? 🤔📖
