Querying Agents | Letter & Strategy

A Workshop from M-E Girard. Writers spend time crafting and polishing the query letter that will hopefully land them an agent, however the process of querying goes much beyond the composition of the letter. A writer should expect to spend a significant amount of time and energy on their querying process in order to have the best possible chance at finding the right match. In this workshop, participants will learn tips on developing an agent querying strategy. From how to set up the groundwork long before the letter is crafted, to targeting the right agents, to avoiding common mistakes, to tracking queries—M-E will give you tips, resource materials, and advice on how to ensure your query letter has the best chance at landing in the right hands. As a bonus, participants will also receive a handout with the most essential questions to ask a literary agent during The Call.
