Victoria improved my query package tremendously. Not only is my query letter a better marketing tool, but my synopsis!—I never expected a synopsis could be something which could make readers excited about the overall story, but Victoria’s questions and advice turned the synopsis from something lifeless into an exciting document in its own right.

As a new writer, I found myself drowning in a sea of information I found on the internet regarding querying, first ten pages, synopsis, and such. Blue Pen editing tossed me a line, showed me how to swim, and pointed me toward the shore.

To any author who is considering getting their query read and revised but isn’t quite sure, please do it. The feedback I received on both my query letter and sample pages was extremely helpful and pointed out things I had hardly considered. My query letter is completely unrecognizable in the best way possible.
