Course Details

The truth is, there are scores of agents out there, and landing one is nowhere near as hard as it seems -- even if you have no publishing connections. In this seminar, you'll learn how to find the perfect agent for your novel or nonfiction book, how to know when your book is ready to send out, and how to write a professional-sounding query letter.
