$59 for Members $119 for Non-Members Writing a query letter can be an agonizing exercise for any writer, but it’s an essential step in the process of submitting to literary agents. This class – taught by a former literary agent – will detail the key components that make up a compelling query. Through writing exercises and small group work, attendees will tackle each component with regards to their own project and should expect to leave the class with a first draft of a query letter. TAKE THIS CLASS IF: You’re getting ready to query agents and want to understand what goes into a query letter. You want to learn strategies for writing an effective query letter.
