Unless the agent you’re querying has a bare-bones MSWL, I recommend adding that little line to tell the agent why you’re querying them specifically. Well-crafted personalization never hurts your chances; it can only help. So why not?03 Jun 2026 21:15 +0000at://did:plc:lslfeplpbud7zksphp3pn7by/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnfzpykw462zhttps://bsky.app/profile/kelleyeditorial.bsky.social/post/3mndgrnpedw2xWriting or querying queer fiction in 2026?

But don’t forget to specify ✨why✨ your comps are a good fit. Similar gruff-but-likable protagonist? Same intricate magic system? Similar biting satire?29 May 2026 15:04 +0000at://did:plc:lslfeplpbud7zksphp3pn7by/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmysob7yha2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/kelleyeditorial.bsky.social/post/3mmtoyraxkf2tHere are 4 formulas for writing comps in a query letter: X meets Y. “THE TRUMAN SHOW meets JAWS in my 85,000 word contemporary horror novel [TITLE].” (1/4)27 May 2026 14:15 +0000at://did:plc:lslfeplpbud7zksphp3pn7by/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmtoyraxkf2thttps://bsky.app/profile/kelleyeditorial.bsky.social/post/3mmrhtjuwig2zI’m having the best time working with my #RevPit winner Kirsten Liedl on NOT A WITCH.

It’s time for my #MeetTheEditor thread 💖 This is my second year as an editor with RevPit, and I’m so glad to be back. I'm eagerly awaiting your submissions. Got questions about my MSWL or editing process before you submit? Now’s the time to ask! @reviseresub.bsky.social02 Mar 2026 15:14 +0000at://did:plc:lslfeplpbud7zksphp3pn7by/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg3ka2wg6s25https://bsky.app/profile/kelleyeditorial.bsky.social/post/3ma7cxcb2t22sPractical advice for querying writers: Query in batches. Only getting form rejections? Revise the query letter and first pages. Getting partials and fulls without offers? Consider agent feedback. Developmental edits may be needed. But often, it’s just not a fit. Get a hug, revise, and keep going. 👏17 Dec 2025 18:44 +0000at://did:plc:lslfeplpbud7zksphp3pn7by/app.bsky.feed.post/3ma7cxcb2t22shttps://bsky.app/profile/kelleyeditorial.bsky.social/post/3m3xawb5uxs2tTime for my #10Queries feedback💫 It was such a pleasure to read these.
