Morgan Hazelwood: Writer In Progress
All writers are united by one question: when is your manuscript done?
How do you know your story is ready? They say to only show your most polished work, but many of us are perfectionists, have anxiety, and/or are too close to our manuscripts and can only see the flaws. Declaring our manuscript done may be a day that never comes, but we have to stop sometime.

Query letters are hard.
They’re a job application to sell a project that you’ve poured your heart, soul, and more-than-just-all-your-free-time into for months, years, or even decades.
But, if you could have told your story in 250 words or less, you wouldn’t have needed to write the whole novel!
The problem is, there are thousands of other writers who (mostly wrongly or naively) think their novel deserves to be published more than yours does. You’re reaching out to agents who’ve seen almost everything and you need to convince them that your novel is different! (Or at least written well enough that readers don’t mind)
Unfortunately, I can’t tell you how to get it right. I don’t know the secret formula either, and I suspect it’s different for every agent, and dependent on how recently that agent had lunch.
But all is not lost!
