How to Write a Query Letter That Will Attract an Agent’s Attention
This course will provide useful tips on how to write an effective query letter that gets an agent’s attention, presents you as an appealing potential client, and introduces your work in the most saleable way. Broken into three sections, class topics will cover the query letter and how you can make sure yours grabs an agent’s attention. We’ll also discuss author-agent working relationships and what to look for in your agent.
