As a traditionally published author and freelance editor, I love helping fellow writers take the next step toward career success. I’ve consolidated both my personal experience and my experience working with clients into this course. You will come away with useful tips and tools for improving your query letter and overall querying package.
Let’s make sure you never “waste” a query by sending a query letter that’s not your strongest. We’ll walk through each section of the query, highlighting examples and best practices, including the opening, hook, comp titles, author bio, and closing. As authors, we put most of our focus on creativity, but we are also business people. Because of that, we need to learn how to pitch ourselves and our stories, especially when approaching literary agents. Come along with me as we demystify the querying process.
