Writing Queries that Pop (I wanted to call it writing kick butt queries, butt they wouldn't let me)
This course is designed for writers who are querying or have a manuscript they are about to submit. You will submit your query letter in advance and be prepared to have it discussed in class for the purposes of making it stronger. The bulk of the class will be used to critique the participants' query letters. This is a hands on, spill some ink, break a few pencils kinda course. You've written your fiction manuscript. It's been through your writers' group and has undergone numerous rewrites. You think it's ready to send to publishers. You've done your research about which publishers would be appropriate and you've read their submission guidelines. Now you need to write a query letter that will get your submission pulled out of the slush pile.
