Pitch Wars Webinars presents . . .
Query and First Page Bootcamp with New Leaf Literary Agent Suzie Townsend
If you want to get a literary agent, you have to hook them quickly with your submission materials. And the two most important items during your initial agent inquiry are the all-important query letter and first pages of your story. This Webinar will teach how to do create an amazing agent submission.
Writing a strong query letter requires a great hook and clear premise. The first sentence should immediately catch the reader’s attention, while the ending should leave the reader wanting to dive into the pages of the manuscript. Your first pages should work similarly—you want the person reading to find it absolutely unputdownable. But this takes practice, patience, and an eye for detail. This webinar will cover writing the most effective query letter, starting with your strongest possible first pages, as well as useful tips and resources about the actual querying process.
Note: There will not be any critiques but a sample packet will be provided.
