Learn how to reach out to literary agents and avoid career damaging scams.
If you want your novel to be traditionally published, sooner or later you will need to write a query letter to send literary agents. Learn how to develop an effective pitch and the most effective ways to encapsulate your plot to create an appealing showcase for your story. We’ll also discuss where to find legitimate agents to represent you and your book.
This flash-course is designed by a writing coach and HarperCollins author to help authors understand the basics of submitting to literary agents.
