Mastering the Query Letter: Top Literary Agents Weigh In

About the Event

How do you get your work out there in the world?

The first step is to write a solid query letter to attract a reputable literary agent who will sell your book to a publisher and negotiate your contract. This workshop will help you shape your query letter into a compelling introduction to your work that can truly resonate with the right literary agent.

Together, we’ll explore the key elements of an effective query, draft a letter, and receive supportive, expert feedback from experienced agents. Come with your questions and your curiosity, and leave with a better sense of what agents are looking for so you can confidently take the next step in sharing your book with the world!
