Literary agents don’t have time to read every manuscript sent their way. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. So how do they find the next great novel or universally loved memoir? Enter the query letter. Next to your manuscript, the query letter is the single most important page you’ll write in your literary career. Every word and piece of punctuation counts, so it needs to be perfect. Join us for this exclusive webinar with agent Amy Levenson of Blue Heron Literary and find out how to craft your best query letter in 300 words or less. In this session, we’ll cover the following topics and more:

1. Think before you query – ask yourself if you’re ready for the traditional publishing route
2. Essential elements of every query letter – opening and closing statements, pitching your story, writing a strong bio
3. Red flags and must-haves – following the universal rules for querying agents
