Query Services

On this page, you'll find my services relating to query edits and everything you'd need to get a package sparkling for agents.

​

Payment plans are subjectively available based on final prices.

​

All prices listed in CAD. (Applicable taxes not included for residents of Canada.)

Query Edit

The Query Edit includes two revisions. I will provide a short edit letter outlining the viability of the project and suggested changes. In addition, I will share a Word doc with Track Changes for grammar, sentence structure, and clarity. Once the initial edits have been made, I will read and provide line-by-line feedback a second time.

​

When to use this service:
- Before sending out any queries.
- You've been querying for a while but haven't gotten any requests.

​

A Query Edit is $100 + tax based on 300-500 words. Queries over this word count may incur an extra fee.

2

Synopsis Edit

The Synopsis Edit offers two revisions and an optional 30-minute video call to discuss the overall story. Line edits will be provided via Word with Track Changes. An edit letter will also be sent regarding general thoughts on the flow of the story and the overall structure.

​

When to use this service:

- When a synopsis is complete but before sending out queries.

- During querying for reassurance.

​

The Synopsis Edit starts at $200 + tax based on 750 words. Synopses over this word count may incur an extra fee.

Opening Pages Edit

This option offers one read on the first three chapters or 10,000 words, whichever comes first. This read will include a Line Edit on the passage provided, as well as a developmental overview. I will provide an edit letter, a Word doc with Track Changes, and a 30-minute video call to discuss the story.

​

When to use this service:

- Just before querying to solidify your query package.

- While querying if you've received partial requests but then rejections.

​

This edit is $0.038/word plus a 30-minute video call ($405 + tax for 10k words).

This option offers everything in the Query Edit and Synopsis Edit combined.

Full Query Package Edit

Here, the Query Edit, Synopsis Edit, and Opening Pages Edit are combined with a $60 discount. The price of this package can be lessened by requesting fewer opening pages be reviewed.

​

I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee Peoples. I am thankful to those of the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples who have--and continue to--care for these lands here and across the province. To this day, Indigenous people in this region and beyond continue to face oppression, inequality, and violence as a result of historic and ongoing colonialism. Though these lands are protected by the Dish with One Spoon agreement, settlers and institutions continue to fail to uphold their responsibilities. In order to change, we must understand the gruesome history and stand in allyship with Indigenous peoples through action.
