Our Top Tips for a Strong Query
Let’s be honest: we all want to read a good story. The query letter is your chance to show agents that they'll find a good story in your book—and the best way to do that is make your blurb shine. Writing a blurb isn’t the most straightforward process, though. Literary agents Jessica Faust and James McGowan have advice on how to write a blurb that will hook your readers.

Jessica Faust’s love for books is what first brought her to open BookEnds Literary Agency. It is her desire to be an advocate for all authors that pushed her to create her blog, the BookEnds YouTube channel and to maintain a vibrant presence on Twitter.
Jessica is proud to have grown BookEnds to an agency that represents authors of all genres for children and adults, allowing her to reach more readers and help more authors and illustrators achieve their dreams.
