Get your agent submission questions answered! This workshop will equip you with everything you need to jump into the publishing industry.

We’ll discuss the roles of agents and editors, what they’re looking for in work, and how you can make your work stand out through strong query letters, pitches, and bios. As someone who has worked on both the author and publicity sides of the fence, I can describe my experience with most effectively approaching marketing and submitting books from both angles.

We’ll also discuss some key tips for how to get to know agents and editors better. No project is required for this workshop; however, students who have a manuscript in mind will have opportunities to create and practice a mini-pitch for the class.

TAKE THIS CLASS IF:

• You are interested in submitting your novel or poetry collection out for publication but don’t know where to start.

• You’ve submitted your work to agents and editors but received form rejections and would like to help your submission stand out.

• You’d like to create or tighten your pitch for Twitter contests or pitch sessions.
