Pitch Perfect Query Submissions
<p>You've written, revised, and polished your novel. Critique partners have told you it's ready. Now you're looking to query. In this webinar, you'll hear from a literary agent who has read hundreds of queries. Antoinëtte will apply her lens as an industry professional as she deconstructs the key elements of successful query writing, including what makes a query compelling, attention grabbing, and stand out in the slush pile. Lecture topics will also include things that should be avoided in a query, successful query examples, and how to balance telling too much vs too little in your synopsis. She'll also share what agents are looking for in opening pages so your project has the best chance of catching an agent's eye. </p>
Lecture replays are available after the free trial ends. To end your trial early, email brooke@inkedvoices.com .
