HOW: Advanced Query Letters
with Amy Jameson
Service Description
***This course is only available to those who are registered for the June Conference, have a complete, polished manuscript and are ready to query agents.*** A great query letter is the key to attracting a potential agent, who can get your book into the hands of acquiring editors. In this advanced class, we will review a query letter from each student and look for ways to improve. Students will also learn about researching agents, how to find the best agent fit for your manuscript, the overall process of signing with an agent, and what to look for in an agency retainer agreement. If you have a complete, polished manuscript and are ready to query agents, this class is for you. After registering for the class, you’ll receive information about sharing your query letter with the instructor. Class caps at 12 participants. HOWs (Hands-On Workshops) are 2-hour, more in-depth classes during the afternoon breakout hours. By signing up for this class, you are agreeing to stay for the entire two hours without leaving to go to another breakout session.
