“How to Get Published”
An editor & a literary agent
tell all
Saturday, May 31, 2025
1:15 – 5:00 p.m. Toronto time
Offered online and accessible wherever there's Internet
If you've ever dreamed of becoming a
published author, this
workshop is for you. We’ll focus on the process of submitting to an agent or
publisher, and show you exactly how to write a query letter that will get a
“yes.” Bring all your questions. Come and get ready to be published!
Special Option: Participants are invited
to prepare a draft of a query letter you might use to interest an agent or
publisher in your book. You don't need to prepare anything, but if you like,
email me a draft of your query prior to our workshop. Bridgette and I will
critique several queries, so everyone can see what
works, what doesn’t and how to improve your query. Do remember that agents
come to these events wanting to hear what you’ve got. ~Brian

categories.
