Submission materials should follow diagnosis
A query letter and synopsis are stronger when the manuscript has already been evaluated for concept, structure, stakes, pacing, character, and closure.

Query letter and synopsis generator
Query letter and synopsis support after manuscript diagnosis.
RevisionGrade helps writers move from manuscript evaluation toward agent-ready materials: query letters, synopses, pitch paragraphs, comparables, positioning, and author bios.
RevisionGrade is The Literary AI Partner: manuscript diagnosis, author-controlled revision, and professional submission preparation for serious writers.
What this page covers
Pitch is part of the query
For manuscript submissions, the pitch belongs inside the query letter as the hook paragraph. It should not become a redundant separate document unless a specific workflow requires it.
- hook paragraph
- metadata
- market positioning
- professional format
Author approval before export
Agent-facing materials should be reviewed and approved by the author before export so the submission package remains accurate and intentional.
- approve sections
- controlled export
- author credentials only
- submission package
FAQ
Does a query letter need a synopsis?
A professional submission package often includes both a query letter and a synopsis. The pitch itself belongs inside the query letter, while the synopsis is a separate story-summary document when requested or generated as part of Agent Readiness.
Should the query be generated before evaluation?
It can be drafted, but the strongest query and synopsis should reflect a diagnosed manuscript. Agent-facing materials should not disguise unresolved story problems.
