My Favorite Querying Resources

Query Shark

Check out the Query Shark archives where agent Janet Reid reads and critiques queries. She marks up queries and shows you where she, a literary agent, would stop reading and why. Super useful tool for querying authors to know the most common mistakes querying authors make!

BookEnds Blog

I might be a little biased, but BookEnds creates tons of blog posts for querying authors written by literary agents. Everything from word counts to how to nudge agents. Also, be sure to check out their YouTube channel!

First Five Frenzy

An invaluable resource for authors trying to perfect their opening pages. Interviews with literary agents on what they look for and what they dislike in the first five pages of a submission.

J. Elle’s Website

Author J. Elle has a ton of resources on her website for authors including sample query critiques, querying prep questions, and how to craft the perfect Twitter pitch.
