Congrats, James!

My friend James L. Sutter, whose query letter I consulted on, sold his YA novel to Sara Goodman at Wednesday Books (Macmillan) via agent Josh Adams at Adams Literary. You can read the announcement here. Woo-hoo! Way to go, James!

James was kind enough to give me a testimonial about my query editing:

“Susan gave me thorough, thoughtful feedback on my query letter, combing through it word by word to show me how to make it stronger. That new, improved version helped me get a top-notch agent and a two-book deal with a great publisher.”
