Query Tracker is a huge collection of query information including thousands of agents and publishers — all “carefully screened for legitimacy and proficiency.” QT also streamlines the process for writers and authors to manage their queries as well as connect and share information about agents and publishers with other writers. Essentially, QT is a FREE database to connect writers / authors with agents and publishers.
Using Query Tracker’s tools, writers and authors check off milestones for each query they send, such as mailed, emailed, rejected, or manuscript request. Query Tracker collects the data for each individual agent and displays how many queries have been sent to them as well as rejections and response times. You can even view actual query letters, if the author allows, so you can read what letters the agent liked or disliked. The compiled statistics will also indicate whether the agent accepts email queries more often than snail mail.
Finding The Right Fit
It can be a daunting task trying to find the right fit between writer and agent. QueryTracker, with a database containing thousands of agents and publishers, now allows you to search for the right fit via genre.
Wouldn’t it be great If before you query a literary agent, you could have data to inform you about the agent in question, such as Query Response Times, True Genres of Interest, Preferred Manuscript Lengths, and the Best Time to Query? Now you can with Query Tracker.
But suppose you write both contemporary fiction and cooking? No Problem. QueryTrackers’ new search allows you to search for agents and publishers who handle both forms of genre, putting you one step closer to being published.
Query Organization
We all could use organization and QueryTracker is the perfect solution. The easy-to-use platform offers a plethora of tools to keep the writer organized, from notes, to follow-ups to the prevention of duplicate queries to the same agent or publisher.
