  • So you’ve finished writing (and revising) your novel — what next? In this one day workshop, participants will learn about how to craft the ever-important query letter as well as how (and where) to submit it. We will discuss how to write a great hook, a captivating and concise summary, and how to pen your bio. We will also look at the various resources to help you research agents and editors as well as the etiquette of the submission process.
