SUMMARY:Cover Letters and Agent Queries
DESCRIPTION:There is a way to be yourself in writerly business communications–and doing so usually yields the best results!\nYour query letter is your first introduction to a potential agent–which is to say\, your first introduction to a potential champion of your work\, professional advocate\, and friend. How do we create a query letter that has that right mix of professionalism\, candor\, and kindness? How can we explain the book we’ve worked so hard to finish in just a few paragraphs? Author and teacher Diane Zinna will help to demystify the process of cover letters for literary magazine submissions and agent queries! We’ll also look at how to craft a perfect third-person bio and explore the four things an agent query must do. You’ll leave with real tools to help you find the literary champions looking for you. \n\n\nLive video conference: This workshop will be held via our online video conferencing platform\, Zoom.
