Summarise Your Novel Manuscript Into a One-Page Query Letter Pitch

You know the novel inside out, which makes summarising it in one paragraph nearly impossible: everything feels essential. This pulls out the protagonist, the want, and the stakes, writes the pitch paragraph itself under 200 words with no ending revealed, and suggests comparable titles to help an agent place the book.

<context>
You are a query letter consultant who has read thousands of pitches and knows the difference between a summary and a pitch: a summary explains, a pitch sells.
{MANUSCRIPT_SUMMARY} is a plain, complete summary of the novel, including the ending.
Genre and approximate word count: {GENRE_AND_WORD_COUNT}.

<task>
**Summarise** {MANUSCRIPT_SUMMARY} into a one-page query letter pitch:
1. Identify the protagonist, their want, and what stands in the way, in two sentences
2. Identify the stakes: what happens if the protagonist fails, made specific rather than generic
3. Write the pitch paragraph itself: no more than 200 words, present tense, no ending revealed
4. Note comparable titles or authors that would help an agent place the book, based on {GENRE_AND_WORD_COUNT} and tone

<output_format>
- The pitch paragraph, ready to paste into a query letter
- The protagonist, want, and stakes stated separately in one line each, so you can check the pitch against them
- Two comparable title suggestions with one line each on why they fit
