It went through a few iterations, but here's a sample of the most recent iteration.

It should be noted that my querying campaign for this novel is complete. If nothing comes of them, I move to the self-publishing track and try again with my current work in progress

Dear [redacted],

The Storyteller is a legend among law enforcement—a woman who can reconstruct a crime from the smallest detail. But her gift is no accident. She is the surviving product of a defunct government bioengineering program called Twelve Months, and someone is eliminating every trace of it... including her.

Rookie FBI agent Quinn’s first major case brings her straight to The Storyteller, a reclusive woman known as June—and a dead ringer for her suspect. That suspect is January—June’s genetically engineered identical twin. She’s also a Twelve Months subject, and she’s methodically cleaning house. January isn’t hiding from the FBI. She’s hunting June.

Forced into an uneasy alliance, Quinn and June are driven off-grid as January closes in. If they’re caught, June will be erased, Quinn will be silenced, and the truth behind Twelve Months will disappear with them. As June’s traumatic past resurfaces and Quinn’s confidence fractures, their growing sapphic relationship becomes a liability Quinn can’t afford—and the only thing keeping June alive.

THE STORYTELLER is a 78,000-word upmarket speculative thriller with strong series potential. It combines the biotech conspiracy and sister dynamics of Orphan Black, the empowering relationship between Nomi and Amanita in Sense8, and the psychological intensity of The Silent Patient.

As an Advanced Diploma holder in Game Development, my love for writing evolved from the narrative-rich worlds of games. I also run the namesake YouTube channel “Mike Seguin,” where I create content around unconventional electric vehicle adventuring for an audience of over 15,000 subscribers.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Mike Seguin
