"Some
people spend more time on their synopsis than they do the query letter they
send to an agent or publisher. Yet if your query doesn't get their attention,
the synopsis won't be requested. I'll be presenting a workshop on "Getting
the Most from Your Query." My query letter has been complimented by an
agent at The Knight Agency for being very professional and told by another
agent that it was exactly what they were looking for in a query letter."
Kathyn J. Bain.
Yes, we
know you'd rather suffer a migraine while dropping an anvil on your foot
instead of writing a query, but you know it has to be done. Join us on May 25
as Kathy Bain guides us through painlessly writing the perfect query. You'll
enjoy a great workshop, plus you'll have a lot of fun!
