Excited to be working with Scott on his language-based magical YA. And going from pitch to offer on LitConnect was a fun process!

Agents juggle hundreds of emails every week while searching for books they truly love. Better matching makes that easier for everyone. #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

Traditional querying runs on research and guesswork. LitConnect flips the order: agents define what they want first; matches drive visibility. Alignment beats volume every single time. Learn more at litconnect.net #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

Our matching algorithm doesn't sleep. It scans agent wishlists, finds alignment with your manuscript, and surfaces your work to the right people while you write. Learn more at litconnect.net #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

A large share of agent rejections happen simply because the manuscript isn’t the right fit for that agent’s list. That kind of mismatch is built into today’s querying systems. We’re working hard to change that. Find out more at litconnect.net #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity
