ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Despite being one of the most discussed topics in the writing community, the query letter remains a frustrating part of the submission process. How can a writer best boil down their 80,000-word manuscript (or in some cases, their 180,000-word manuscript) down to 300 words? Would it just be better if writers showed up at agency offices with cookies as gifts? (Unfortunately, the answer is no.)

It takes writers months or years to compose a manuscript (or book proposal), yet agents will judge your query in 60 seconds,so your letter has to be clear, exciting, and concise.

In this webinar, instructor Michelle Wolfson, a literary agent who represents both fiction and nonfiction bestsellers, will share her tips on writing the kind of query letter that will maximize your chances of getting an agent's attention. She will also share her suggestions for how best to manage the query process,which, after all, is similar to what agents do in submitting manuscripts to editors to make a sale. Along with her evergreen advice on composing a dynamite query, Michelle will use examples from real queries to show how-to and how-not-to go about your quest for the coveted “requested pages." Michelle has found many clients, including New York Times bestselling authors, in the slush pile; let her teach you how you, too, can stand out from the crowd.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN (QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE ANSWERED):

  • What is the purpose of a query letter?
  • What are the elements of a query letter?
  • What should I do if my query letter isn't working?
  • What should I mention about my writing and myself?
  • How long is the pitch?
  • Should my query give away the ending?
  • How much does my writer platform matter?
  • How should I go about querying agents when I start the process?
  • Is there a preferred font or format that should be used?
  • (And sample queries that worked, and some that didn't,with analysis)

INSTRUCTOR

Michelle Wolfson is a literary agent and founded Wolfson Literary Agency in December 2007. She represents authors of high-quality commercial fiction and nonfiction, in a range of areas from young adult and mainstream to mysteries and romance. She is drawn to projects with a standout voice and strong interesting characters. Michelle holds a B.A. from Dartmouth College and an M.B.A. from New York University. Before founding her own agency, she spent four years at other literary agencies and several years working outside of publishing, first in nonprofit and then in finance, and she brings the skills she learned in these areas, plus a lifetime love of reading, to the table as an agent. Her clients include New York Times bestsellers Kiersten White and Mark Di Vincenzo, both of whom she found through cold queries in the slush pile.

Very smooth and also affordable when buying the 3 bottle set.
Scent: Unscented, Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I just love this lotion. I am 78 years old and need extra moisture daily. I can tell you how this lotion has made such a difference in my mature skin. I use it every morning after a shower and nightly for over night protection. I love that it's unscented and doesn't take away from my cologne that I love, where other lotions overwhelmed my cologne. Anyway I love it so much that I bought the 3 bottle package to have it always on hand. I am very picky with my face lotions and serums and I use this lotion on my face after my serums. It makes my makeup go on so smoothly and seems to help not having to reapply during the day. I just can't say enough about it and this lotion will be my go to body lotion as well. I am constantly getting compliments on how soft and smooth my skin looks and feels and this is saying something when approaching 79 years young!!!

MY FAVORITE HAND LOTION FOR DECADES
Scent: Unscented, Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This particular version of Vaseline Intensive Care hand lotion is the best on the market. I have used it for decades, and though I have tried to other brands, keep coming back to this. It moisturizes very well, is not greasy and can be used anywhere on the body. Highly recommend!

Moisture Without the Grease
Scent: Unscented, Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This unscented Vaseline lotion truly provides long lasting moisture for dry skin It’s rich but absorbs quickly & doesn't leaving greasy or sticky residue. The only negative is the T-shaped pump head — I find it a bit awkward to use. Still, the formula itself is excellent.
