Join indie press founder and acquisitions editor Jessica Cole in a three-session workshop that will bring your query letter and synopsis to life. In the first session, we will study what makes a good query and synopsis and the ways in which great query letters break the rules. We will bring our own projects into the discussion to brainstorm ideas to incorporate into our drafts. In the second session, we will workshop each query letter so every attendee gets feedback and direction for revisions. In the third and final session, we will give each attendee’s letter another round of feedback for further polishing and share further resources for writers in the process of querying.
