I have permission to share! I am THRILLED about our client’s debut novel, which was snapped up by Penguin Random House in a pre-empt.
I've read thousands of query letters, and I love collaborating with authors on them. Bookmark our site for future reference! luckyauthor.com

Lucky Author Success Story book cover: Double Happiness by Heather Eng, featuring a woman wearing sunglasses, a skyline, the silhouettes of two men, and the Chinese “double happiness” symbol “Even after countless revisions and feedback from other people, I never felt like I quite nailed my query letter, which is why I turned to you. Once I saw your edits, I knew it was the query letter that would get me an agent. I signed with one soon after, and sold my novel the next year.” - Heather Eng

Frank Herbert truly changed the sci-fi landscape with "Dune." His exploration of ecology and power is timeless! "The mind commands the body." What’s your favorite Dune moment? 🪐📚 #Dune #FrankHerbert
