Before You Send It Out Workshop - Virginia Beach, VA
WHAT: Agents and editors don’t have time to read entire manuscripts. So how do they choose which writers they want to work with? Proposals. Regardless of whether you have a book for adults or children, in fiction or nonfiction, you need a strong proposal. But while many writers invest a significant amount of time, energy and money in crafting their manuscripts, few know how to compose a proper proposal. In this class, you will learn:
• Why 90% of submissions are rejected based on the cover letter alone
• The single most reliable—and free!—resource for finding a good agent
• Three common, yet easily avoidable, mistakes writers make
• A proposal’s true purpose (hint: it’s not to demonstrate talent)
