If your novel is ready for the world, and you want to publish traditionally, you’ll need to sign an agent first. But the process of finding and landing one can feel overwhelming and confusing, maybe even inaccessible. Not to worry, this class will help you navigate that process, teaching you how to write an impressive query letter, place your novel within the current market, find and address the right agent for you, and revise your first pages so they stand out. By the end, you will have the opportunity to receive instructor feedback on your query letter draft. Whether you have queried before or have never written one, but you want an agent, this class is for you.
