Finding a Literary Agent: From Manuscript to Query

Have you written a novel, memoir, or other book and wondered what comes next? This practical workshop will demystify the process of finding a literary agent and preparing your submission materials.

We’ll explore how to research and identify agents who are a good fit for your work, what agents look for in a submission, and how to put together the essential materials—including a compelling query letter, synopsis, and opening pages. You’ll also learn how to approach the submission process strategically and avoid common mistakes that can get a promising manuscript overlooked.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore traditional publishing or are ready to start querying, this workshop will give you a clearer roadmap for taking the next step toward publication.

Option to take this course in-person at CVU High School on Oct 29 or online on Nov 5.

Age 18+
