As a literary agent, I review dozens of manuscripts each month, assessing them with a keen eye for what makes a story stand out in today’s competitive market. I understand what catches the attention of agents and editors, what elements contribute to a strong submission, and how to refine a manuscript to highlight its strengths while addressing its weaknesses.

Because of this expertise, I’m thrilled to offer a range of services to non-clients, designed to help writers navigate the query and submission process with confidence. These services include in-depth query critique packages as well as full and partial manuscript evaluations, all tailored to provide actionable feedback that strengthens your work and increases its chances of success. Whether you're preparing to query agents for the first time or refining your manuscript for submission, I’m here to help you take the next step in your publishing journey.

"Possessing a keen eye and a great sense of what makes a query shine, Arianna helped me take my letter from zero to hero. She was able to methodically pick apart the marketable aspects and help me emphasize them with sharp language and friendly, encouraging service. Querying, as I’ve learned, is a whole different skill set from writer’s craft, and if you haven’t yet developed that skill, Arianna is the person you want to speak with. Thank you, Ari!" - Daniela R.


"Arianna was phenomenal to work with! Her critique was the most thorough I’ve ever had (she even helped me with my comps!) and her feedback was concise and easy to understand. She was able to bring my query letter to a level I don’t think I would’ve been able to accomplish otherwise. I highly recommend her services!" - S.E. Berkley
