Writing Query Letters That Get a Yes
Monday, January 30, 2017
7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Kitchener Public Library, Central
Branch, 85 Queen Street, North, Kitchener, Ontario (Map here.)
If you want to get
the attention of an agent or a publisher, you need to
craft a good query letter. Using real life examples, this seminar shows you how
to do it. There isn’t just one way to write a successful query, and your query
doesn’t have to be perfect; but it does need to persuade an agent that you’ve
got a book that they can successfully pitch to a publisher.
Workshop leader Brian Henry has
been a book editor and creative writing instructor for more than 25 years. He
publishes Quick Brown Fox, Canada’s most popular blog for
writers, teaches creative writing at Ryerson University and has led workshops
everywhere from Boston to Buffalo and from Sarnia to Charlottetown. But
his proudest boast is that he has
helped many of his students get published.
Attendance is free, but please let me
know you’re coming so I know how many handouts to bring. Email: brianhenry@sympatico.ca

The query letter takes longer to create than the manuscript!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this. Hopefully, I'll get some use out of it before the end of the year.
