| If you want to get a literary agent, you have to hook them quickly with your submission materials. And the two most important items during your initial agent inquiry are the all-important query letter and first pages of your story. This Writers Digest Boot Camp will teach how to do create an amazing agent submission. |
| Writing a strong query letter requires a great hook and clear premise. The first sentence should immediately catch the readers attention, while the ending should leave the reader wanting to dive into the pages of the manuscript. Your first pages should work similarlyyou want the person reading to find it absolutely unputdownable. But this takes practice, patience, and an eye for detail. Which is why were here: to discuss what to do and not to do and to make your query and first pages as stand-out as possible. |
| Suzie Townsend and JL Stermer are currently building their lists at New Leaf Literary & Media, Inc. and understand what information will help prospective authors weigh all of their options before choosing an agent. |
| Here's how it works: On Tuesday January 23, 2018, you will gain access to an all-new special 111-minute online tutorial via the course system: "How to Catch an Agent's Interest with Your Query and First Pages presented by literary agents of New Leaf Literary.s |
| After listening to the presentation, attendees will spend the next two days revising materials as necessary. After viewing the tutorial, writers will have two days in which to log onto the course system and ask assigned agent critiquers questions related to revising materials. The agents will be available on the course system from 1-3 p.m. (EDT) on both Wednesday, January 24 and Thursday, January 25. No later than Saturday, January 27, attendees will submit a query and the first five manuscript or proposal pages for critique. The submissions will receive feedback directly from the boot camp literary agents. |
| The agents will spend up to three weeks reviewing all assigned critiques and provide feedback to help attendees. (The agents reserve the right to request more materials if they feel a strong connection to the work and want to read more; note that multiple agents have signed writers after reading their work as part of WD boot camps.) |
| Hurry, join the bootcamp today and start tomorrow! |
