Demystify the Publishing Process: Query Letters, Agents, Publishers, Publicity
This How the Publishing Works workshop has ended. Please check out our writing workshops schedule page for currently scheduled workshops or join our mailing list.
When you have finished your novel, what do you do with it? When you have a good idea for a book, how do you take it further? In this workshop, we will explore the process of agent submission and publication for both fiction and non-fiction.
Further, each attendee will get personal feedback on submission material (a one-page synopsis and a one-page query letter, if brought to the session) OR a chance to discuss their unique pitch in order to strengthen its position.
In this 1-day workshop, you will learn:
- How to identify your readership
- How to research and approach literary agents
- How to formulate a query letter
- Best practice for writing arresting and pithy synopses
- How to make your sample chapters stand out, and ensure agents request the complete ms
- What to expect from the publishing process: advances, royalties, lead times, cover design, marketing, and publicity.
All are welcome: those with a manuscript and those just starting out.
