I’m the “Queen of Queries” — helping authors land their dream literary agents.

With just 2 novels queried, I secured 60 full requests and 8 offers of representation — all within a few weeks each time. With my Rep-Ready Method™, I help other authors by going beyond editing through a strategic, market-savvy approach rooted in my trial advocacy, writing, and marketing background.


You finished your novel — that is such a huge accomplishment, and you should be so proud!

Now, how do you get it noticed by agents?
You need more than just great writing; you need strategy.

It’s about knowing how to sell your story that you poured your heart into.

The querying trenches are cold, confusing, and stacked against authors. It can take months to years now to even get a form rejection. Only about 1-3% of queries get a full manuscript request. From those requests, just 5-10% on average lead to an offer. The odds are steep — but your dream agent is still out there.
I cracked the code — twice — and now I’m here to help you.

After querying my first 2 novels, I secured 60 full requests (to include top U.S. and international agencies such as Levine Greenberg Rostan, CAA, Darley Anderson, Trident, Writers House, WME, and Dystel, Goderich, & Bourret), and 8 offers of representation — all within a few weeks each time. My pitches also got me into the Yale Writers’ Workshop, a New York Times bestselling author’s retreat in NYC, and one of the most competitive residency programs in the world (The Chateau d'Orquevaux Artists and Writers Residency in France). 

The Rep-Ready Method™

By studying hundreds of successful queries, synopses, and first pages, and leveraging my trial advocacy and marketing skills, I devised a strategy that got me my dream agent—a strategy I have since shared with hundreds of writers, many of whom have secured multiple full requests and offers of representation.

My Rep-Ready Method™ helps authors turn great writing into irresistible pitches — by aligning their story with what the market wants, avoiding the common mistakes that lead to instant rejections, and positioning the work to maximize chances in the most competitive landscape ever for unagented authors.
