Mediabistro is running its first workshop to help writers craft the perfect pitch and query letter to send to agents and editors. In the Query Letter and First Pages Workshop, students will work with Kate McKean, a top literary agent and Vice President at the Howard Morhaim Literary Agency, to improve their writing and pitches.
The query letter and first pages of a novel are a writer’s best opportunities to make a good impression on an agent or editor. In this brand new, one-day workshop, students will learn how to draft a query letter and get real-time reader feedback on the first 1,000 words of their novels. Students will be given examples of both good and bad query letters so that they can become familiar with how to write a successful query for their own writing. The workshop will take place in New York City, on Saturday, July 11.
Mediabistro’s courses help students add skills to their resumes through portfolio-building courses led by media professionals. Class sizes are kept small to allow for individual feedback and interaction from industry thought leaders.
This workshop is designed for writers aiming to write and submit full-length novels of any genre. Are you ready to pitch your novel to agents? Register for the Query Letter and First Pages Workshop today before the course sells out!
