Ok. I see two options: 1) It's a crime story and the twist is that it's not a drug overdose, it's out right demon possession, as you say. 2) It's horror/occult. What's at stake is her soul. The main character's…

Thank you, Richie. That is a very helpful reworking. Just one question. You phrase it as "a determined drug dealer." This is a plot point I had not considered. Were you thinking that he's determined to not be incriminated? Or…

Thanks Presario. Here's how I'm going to critique this... I'm going to copy out (below) the elements of your query letter that I think belong in a query letter. Then, I'm going to add my suggestions for improvement. If there's…

To overthrow the manipulative authorities of year 2086, a man genetically designed to teach the values of the regime decides to fight his mental programming, team up with outlaws and free a people brainwashed by a corrupt government
Ah, then here's a question: What causes him to decide to fight his mental programming? Knowing that this is a series, the answer to that could become part of the backstory, or you could handle it in a 2-part series…

When a highly-successful psychologist saves a man on the street from suicide, she decides she isn't helping enough people who really need it, and starts a "mobile therapist" ride company, counseling strangers from pick-up to destination; until one-day she accepts a fare across country from a man with real demons to confront.
