Writing a Query that Stands Out from the Slush Pile

In this live webinar, literary agent, Sarah LaPolla teaches you how to make sure an agent
notices your query for the right reasons. Get tips on technique, style, what will stand out, and what to do next. Sometimes a project just doesn't click with an agent, and that's OK. Just make sure that rejection isn't because your query fell flat.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
  • What to include in your query
  • What should be left out of your query
  • Formatting, structure, and length of a query
  • Agent pet peeves in queries
  • How to let an agent know you researched before querying
  • What to do if your genre has been deemed “unsellable”
  • How to write a memorable query without bells, whistles, or gimmicks
  • How to write a bio no matter how many or how little writing credentials you have
  • What to do before - and after - you send your query
