How To Write an Agent Submission Letter
Your submission letter is your first chance to hook an agent’s interest. What core content should it include? How do you pitch your idea and communicate your story to make an agent sit up and read on? Why are you the right person to write this book? This collaborative and practical workshop will give you the tools and the confidence to answer these questions and take your first step into the publishing world.
