Writers Wanted! Here's What's Happening in the QueryTo Community

Dearest writers, your services are requested!

There are manuscripts in need of beta readers, query letters awaiting a second pair of eyes, first pages looking for feedback, and plenty of writers who could use a little encouragement.

The QueryTo community has been busy lately, and we thought we'd share a little of what's happening.

Looking for Beta Readers or Critique Partners?

Head over to Beta Matchmaker, where writers are connecting over manuscripts in need of fresh eyes.

Among the recent listings? A 97,000-word adult dark romantasy featuring a siren protagonist, mystery, and gothic horror. There's also an 83,000-word upmarket historical novel about an Afro-Latina actress navigating 1970s Hollywood.

Perhaps one of them is right up your alley!

A Second Pair of Eyes Never Hurts

Sometimes you've read your own writing so many times that you can no longer tell whether your opening is brilliant or complete nonsense.

Fortunately, there are a few places to turn.

In One-Paragraph Pitch Polish, writers are sharing their book pitches for feedback. Over in Query Letter Review, authors are helping each other strengthen their letters before sending them to literary agents.

And if you're wondering whether your manuscript's opening is doing its job, there's First Page Feedback.

For those currently querying, Query Trenches is also open for celebrations, frustrations, and the occasional existential crisis.

Wanted: A Few Enthusiastic Cheerleaders!

Our Pitch Showcase now has 66 book pitches shared and counting!

Writers are putting their stories out there, from thrillers and fantasy to romance and beyond.

Why not browse a few pitches and leave some encouragement for the authors behind them?

After all, waiting for an agent's reply is considerably more bearable when someone else is cheering you on.

The Pitch Showcase is a space for authors to discover and support each other's work. It's separate from QueryTo's agent-facing Pitch Discovery feature.

Also Accepting Queries: Fernanda Martinez and Liz Gettle

And for our querying writers, a little reminder!

Fernanda Martinez of Fernanda Literary and Liz Gettle of Myth Literary are both accepting queries through QueryTo.

If you're looking for literary agents accepting submissions, be sure to review their manuscript wishlists and submission guidelines before sending your work.

Whether you're searching for beta readers, polishing a query letter, sharing your latest pitch, or simply looking for people who understand the writing journey, there's room for you.
