Authors currently querying agents or publishers, how is the journey going? Are you struggling with query letters, finding the right agent or handling rejection? I'd love to hear your experiences!

Can we be honest about finding literary agents?
Researching agent, checking submission guideline, personalizing query letters, tracking submissions... it almost feel like another full-time job!
For those currently querying, how many agents are on your submission list?

#5- QueryTracker. This is the platform many literary agents use to gather submissions from interested writers. By creating an account, you are able to sort agents by genre, track whether they are open/closed, mark them as "good fits" or "Do-Not-Queries", and keep records as to when you queried them.

Samhain plans? I'm going to obsessively check QueryTracker & manifest a literary agent to magically transport me from the Orwellian hellfire of academia to the best seller list. You? ❤️🍁🧹🇮🇪

I mean, that one's technically finished (not WIP) if any random agents happen to be interested. 😉
(And no I'm not serious. One does not pitch to agents on the internet. One pitches to 500 agents on QueryTracker.😅)

I think this is a copy-pasting error. The formatting occasionally gets lost for some reason. But the formatting of the opening pages I submit through QueryTracker or email is correct.
I'm actually confused about the nature of urgency or conflict in the opening. My favourite novels are Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Pride and Prejudice, and their openings don’t immediately establish the protagonists’ desires or obstacles. Yet they are still engaging...
My own approach to storytelling is to first give readers some essential background, then gradually reveal their core beliefs and perspectives. I feel that revealing too much of a character’s inner thoughts too early can make it harder for readers to connect with them. I know that YA is a different genre and I'll study it more closely.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:672dbym5t2u4skt3nr4px53v/bafkreih6fwj4ntkkmlyosnjhr3ohprlcex75yisccmmlwq4ukkgdmhnysy)

That’s a productive writing day, Leslie! Balancing a new novel while polishing the first takes real dedication, and resisting QueryTracker deserves its own celebration 😄 Which project are you finding more exciting to work on right now?

If you have an editor like on LitConnect, should you mention that while querying via querytracker? If so, where? In the query letter? #AmQuerying

daytime hours reminder for any friends curious about what's been sitting in my docs getting revised for about 7 years. while i let this novel's query letter/first few chapters drift around in the QueryTracker mines, i would also enjoy simply Being Read! so the offer is open
what this means is this 459-page manuscript is now reader-friendly! it's about 2 older working-class gay men with good reasons to stay in the closet... who, despite doing their best for their own sons, have still made them lonely in their own ways. and you can read it! DM if interested.

Good question, but as you might suspect, answers vary. Because this is your first book, I recommend getting an agent first. Drawback? It might take a while to find one (months to a year). Last year I used QueryTracker & eventually found an agent who was a good fit for my writing: querytracker.net

I primarily used querytracker.net and visited a lot of agency websites. You can searh by genre and refine from there. Do you recommend any of the sites that you used?

Yeah, I had everything ready, I just kind of forgot about LitConnect. I was only thinking about QueryTracker. I got my LitConnect query package updated minutes after I saw that notification, and as far as I know that agent still hasn't actually viewed my query package yet.

There’s a ‘meet the agents’ page, which uses pictures of presumably real people - but a brief Google/QueryTracker check reveals that they don’t actually exist 😂

"Nine Perfect Strangers" was fascinating. I noticed you're an aspiring literary agent. I need an agent for a nonfiction book. Harper Collins told me that they're interested in in provided I can get an agent. I've used Querytracker.

Gone through the querytracker agent list for LGBTQ+ AND Fantasy, now doing the same for publishers. Possibly switching the search to 'or' fairly soon.

Every query I've submitted through querytracker I have to tick the little box that no AI was used. And then, of course, this is happening. Disheartening.

Update: I still hate querytracker. But now it is bc every where I look it is trying to sell me something while I paste in my query letter and then fill in all the redundant extra fields asking me things that my query letter already contains.
