Q: How much of the story should a query cover?

A: You're just pitching the story, not giving away all the details. Similar to the back cover description on a published book. #querytip

Here's a question we get asked a lot! Does a manuscript have to be finished before you start querying?

A fiction manuscript should always be finished before seeking representation. A non-fiction project can be queried with a book proposal. #pubtip #querytip
