Before you even think about sending a query, you need:

📌 Comps – Not too popular, not too obscure, not too old, not too successful—just right.
📌 A one-page synopsis – your book on one page.
📌 An elevator pitch – Wait, this is different from a logline??
📌 A logline – But make it irresistible.
📌 A bio – Short but impressive, but not braggy. Be yourself, but not too much.
📌 A killer first 10 pages – Perfect, Flawless, Life-changing text.
📌 A knockout query letter – That balances professionalism, confidence, and desperation.

So, you consume hours of courses, webinars, newsletters, and books.
Then, pay an agent or editor to rip your materials to shreds before revising everything.

Now, finally, I can send queries, right?

Haha. No way, champ. Not yet.
