How to Write a Query Letter

Ever wondered what it takes to land a literary agent on your journey to publication? Join us for a practical workshop to demystify the greatest tool in your toolbox: your query letter. 

This is the first step toward traditional publication –whether that’s a Big 4, mid-size, or small press. We’ll start by explaining why query letters matter and what role they play in the publishing process (Hint: You need one to land a literary agent).

What You Can Expect:

  • Welcome & Workshop Goals

  • Why Query Letters Matter

  • What a Query Letter Is and Isn’t

  • Anatomy of a Strong Query

  • Examples of Successful Queries

  • Mini-Exercise / Q&A

We’ll share real-world examples of successful queries, highlight common pitfalls, and offer a practical exercise to help you test your own hook. Whether you're polishing your query or just getting started, everyone will walk away with tools to take the next step.

This event is free and open to all writers. No RSVP necessary.
