Land the Agent or Publisher of your Dreams Using a Proven Querying and Submission Strategy

Querying is the crucial first step when seeking an agent or publisher, but amazingly is also something that very few authors do well. How do you make yours stand out from the hundreds they receive every day? Through years of trial and error and helping dozens of authors through the query process, bestselling author Derek Taylor Kent has developed unique and proven strategies that nobody else teaches, which typically leads to interest from multiple agents/publishers when there was none before. This crash course in querying gives viewers the edge they need to get noticed and taken seriously.
