Why use this Query Letter Generator instead of asking ChatGPT or Claude?
Chatbots are great for ideas. This tool is for getting the job done — here's what changes when you use it instead of pasting your text into a chat app.
| Compared to a chatbot | This tool | ChatGPT / Claude |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Instant. No prompt, no preamble, no waiting. | Type a prompt, wait for a long reply, read through it. |
| Privacy | Runs in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded or stored. | Your text is sent to and stored by a third party. |
| Format | Consistent, copy-ready output every single time. | Different style and structure every session. |
| Signup | None. Open the page and go. | Account required, limits and paid tiers involved. |
| Cost | Free. Unlimited with Tools Pro ($4.99/mo, all 18 tools). | Free tier with limits, or $20+/mo for full access. |
Use a chatbot to brainstorm. Use this tool to finish the job — then publish with Harmony when the book is ready.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the generated letter?
250-350 words — the accepted query range for most agencies. It includes the hook, book info, a short synopsis, and a closing.
Do I address the agent by name?
The draft uses a generic greeting. Before sending, replace it with the agent's actual name — personalized queries convert far better.
Can I use the letter for multiple agents?
Yes. Adjust the hook and personalization per agent. Never send identical mass queries; agents compare.
