Poets & Writers

Congratulations! You’ve finished your manuscript (or nonfiction proposal) and you’ve taken the editing process as far as it can go on your own, so you’re ready to start querying agents. But how—and where—to start? In this four-hour, two-session workshop, we’ll go over how to make the best first impression for yourself and your work by crafting a compelling query letter. We’ll also discuss marketing comps, finding the right agent for you, go through a mini-writing exercise, and cover the components of how to make your query stand out. At the end, we’ll workshop select draft query letters and have an open Q&A about the publishing industry.
