QL #1: Content of the letter gives a clear pic of what to expect regarding character / stakes. Lots of detail and a bit too long tho - keep in mind that agents receive 100s of these. Be concise & as brief as your concept will allow! (2 PG max for synopsis)

QL #2: Solid opening paragraph! Synopsis is v engaging, and I'm immediately hooked, BUT there are some logistical details missing. MC age? Again, synopsis portion is a bit lengthy--keep it limited to Act 1 and focus on goal, obstacle, stakes!

QL #3: Engaging concept. Missing comps tho - they are a huge indicator that not only do you have a strong grasp of what your target audience wants, but you 'get' the market you're trying to sell within. it's best practice to have them!
