ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Writers dread writing queries. They're built up to be a writers “one and only shot" at getting an agent. Sometimes that's true, but most of the time it's not. Queries don't need to be painful. They're your chance to talk about your book, and no one can do that better than you can.
In this live webinar, literary agent, Sarah LaPolla teaches you how to make sure an agent notices your query for the right reasons. Get tips on technique, style, what will stand out, and what to do next. Sometimes a project just doesn't click with an agent, and that's OK. Just make sure that rejection isn't because your query fell flat.
