Have you heard of Writer's Relief?

I'm looking for opinions. They basically verify formatting and send out the query letters to agents, so authors can concentrate on their writing.

Opinions? Have you worked with them?

Oh my goodness. Tadpole what a wonderful surprise!
But to answer your question, I have not heard of Writer's Relief. Are you getting ready to publish? I'd like to know. I have been considering doing the same but am in the middle of getting ready to move from Texas to Oklahoma with my new, one and only husband. Publishing is not a priority.
If you do find something that will help a wanna be published writer needs to know about Writer's Relief, please feel free to share.
Hope you and your family are doing well. The news for Europe has not been exactly encouraging a visit over there. Stay well and happy and take good care of yourself. I'll be happy to hear from you any time you can squeeze a short note. Bye!
I'd never heard of them prior to your post- so I did a little digging. Here are some links to what I've found. I also checked Yelp.

To sum up- It seems some authors like it because it organizes everything for them- but they pay dearly for that.

Others find it a waste of time and money and feel you can get the same service and help from fellow authors and writing groups.

For the expense- I think time and money would be better spent finding an editor on your own that can critique your work. I've found Agent Query and Literary Agent website to be more than adequate at organizing my queries and submissions- for that matter- submittable organizes and keeps track of many literary journal submissions.

I also use WriteItNow5- which has a handy section that allows you to keep track of everything you write and submit. For an all in one writing, review, and tracking tool- I love it and it's quite affordable.

Hope this helps,

Aiva

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for immediate reviews of my Chimera query letter. For any immediate review, I will give a minimum of 1000 gps.

A good way to avoid what I need to really be doing is look for a prompt. I found one at The Writer's Cramp, and here are the results.

Hey guys,

Any trial attorneys out there? Defense lawyers?

I am writing a cover letter for Baen Books and don't seem to be able to find a person to address it to -- an actual name. Does anyone know who works at Baen Books? Thank you!
The person currently running it is Antonia (Toni) Weisskopf who used to be their long-time executive editor.
Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_science_fiction_editors
This page lists many Baen editors. It also has links in some cases to the editors' web pages, which might help you figure out which one to send your manuscript to. Good luck!
