Are you ready to query?
You wrote, revised and edited and completed your writing project! You are amazing!
Maybe this is your first time querying an agent, or the tenth time. Maybe you are submitting short stories or poetry. Whatever your goal is, we are here to help, because as hard as finishing your project was, submitting your work can be so much harder.
If this isn’t your first time querying, then check out our Free Templates, Up Your Game, and Get Motivated! sections. If you’re new to this, click Learn More to get started.
Rest
This process can be mentally exhausting and soul crushing. Sometimes it can feel as though waves of rejections crash onto you, making you loosen your grip… until you’re only holding on by a single index finger, you’re waiting for that glimmer of hope that all your work and passion has paid off…
Sometimes, what you need is a break.
A break doesn’t mean you stop trying, but it can help you keep going. There are many different ways to help balance the drive to submit and taking care of yourself.
We write, edit, revise, and create on land located in the traditional territories of the Lkwungen (Esquimalt and Songhees Nations), Malahat, Pacheedaht, Scia’new, T’Sou-ke and W̱SÁNEĆ (Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tsawout, Tseycum) peoples. We are grateful to and honour the Indigenous people who live and work on this land, and to their ancestors as well.
