COURSE DESCRIPTION
The query letter is probably the most
important piece of writing you'll have to craft. It is your calling card,
your foot in the door. Anyone working on a novel, a nonfiction book, or
a magazine or newspaper article needs to know how to write a query letter.
(Who wouldn't use a query letter? Poets, short story writers, or some children's
writers working on small (in length) projects.)
In this email critiquing course you will
learn all the do's and don'ts for winning query letters: what to say, what
not to say, which format to use, which mistakes to avoid.Choose one project
to propose, then with feedback from the instructor, you will get your one-page
query letter critiqued--up to 4 drafts (one per week)- and leave this course with a query
letter ready to send out.
In addition, you will
be provided with sample query letters, tips, and guidelines. The instructor is always available to answer your questions via
email.
