Chuck Sambuchingo -- Submitting Queries and Synopses to Agents
If you've written a novel, your first communication with a potential representative will be through a query letter and novel synopsis. That's why both must be tip-top before hitting inboxes. This workshop will first examine what makes a pitch and query great, breaking down the dos and don'ts. After that, attendees are free to bring their queries forward for an evaluation from the instructor as well as thoughts from their peers in the class.
