New Year, New Query: A Second Workshop to Get You Ready
Well, the first query letter workshop sold out, and a few folks have been kind enough to message me, asking if I’ll do another one. And while I don’t think I’ll have the time to run one later in the year, I still have some wiggle room now.
So. I’m gonna run one more. Like I’ve said, I have a great time every time I do these, and these help fund the events I throw here in Philadelphia. There are two listed on the agency website already, and I’m excited to add even more.
I help you, you help me, everyone wins here.
Alright, onto the dates.
Join me for a three class webinar on getting your query letter ready to go. This one will kick off at the end of the month on January 29th. We’ll spend our time talking about what makes a great query, what makes amazing opening pages, and doing some live workshopping together. By the end, you’ll be walking away with a polished pitch packet you can be sure of.
January 29th, 8PM EST: In our first class, we will cover the query letter basics. What makes a good query? What makes it stand out? What are the most common mistakes? We’ll chat about fiction and non-fiction query letters, and for those of you feeling brave, we might even critique a few, live, time allotting.
February 12th, 8PM EST: In our second session, we’ll talk about opening pages. Those dreaded open ten pages that agents and editors ask for pasted or attached (read submission guidelines!) in an email? We’ll have a conversation about what makes “good” opening pages. This is a safe space for prologues, friends.
February 26th, 8PM EST: For our final session, we’ll have an AMA with other agent pals, because this is a subjective business, and you should get more viewpoints than just mine. We’ll also talk about researching agents and submission tactics.
Every attendee will get their query letter and first ten pages critiqued and edited by me by the end of the workshop. And all sessions will be recorded and available for you to watch for up to a month after we wrap up.
Registration is just $100 and you can sign up here. If the price point is an issue, as always, being accessible is important to me, so please don’t hesitate to drop me an email. I’ll make a big ol’ register here button below too:
