Strategy Session

Describing is what you do at dinner when someone asks what you're writing. Positioning is knowing exactly where this book sits in the market, which agents are the right fit, and how to frame your query and opening pages so the whole package reads as intentional.

That's what this session is for.

Most writers come to querying knowing their book is good. What they don't know is how to make someone else see it that way in thirty seconds. That's not a writing problem. That's a positioning problem.

This session is where we fix it.

Before we get on the call I'll read your query so I already know where the gaps are. Then we spend 60 minutes talking through your comp titles, how your materials are framing the book, and what your actual submission strategy should look like. After the call I'll write up a strategy document so you leave with something concrete, not just a blur of notes you have to make sense of alone.WHAT'S INCLUDED

SUBMIT BEFORE YOUR CALL

Your query letter

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

– You have a complete manuscript and you're preparing to query, but you're not confident in how you're positioning the book
– You've been querying without traction and you think the problem might be strategic rather than line-level
– You want a live conversation so you can ask questions and actually talk it through

WHY ME

I'm a literary agent. Positioning and submission strategy are a significant part of what I do for my own clients and, through this work, for writers who aren't there yet. I know what a well-positioned submission looks like and I know where the gaps usually are. This session is how we close them.
