You've spent six months to a year developing a new book. Now it's time to find a literary agent who will sell it to a publisher. However, the first item that acquisitions professionals want is a query letter. But how do you condense a year's work into three paragraphs on one sheet of paper?

This need not be a daunting task. In this free workshop, you will learn how to craft a query letter that sells you and your work. Plus, selected attendees will have a chance to read theirs out loud and have them critiqued on the spot. This workshop is for both authors of fiction and nonfiction, but all writers are welcome to attend.

To participate, Email your one (1) page query letter, properly formatted as a PDF, plus a one-page synopsis of the entire story by Feb. 15 to: info@glaws.org  Or, you can bring five (5) copies of your one-page letter. Selected works will be read aloud, so the audience can follow along and learn how an agent or publisher considers the query.

We will read and review as many MS as time permits, and discuss when is the right time to retain a professional editor. The “Read and Critique” is Free. No matter what you are writing, you must attend this important Special Speaker Event.
