On the 22nd of March at 6.30pm at The Cube in London, the London Writers' Club are having their latest Agent event:
helping
writers connect with agents & publishers
|
|
Spring is slowly appearing, its time to shrug off
your 'winter coat' and come out of your writer's hibernation.
Agents are as keen as ever to sign new writers but writers have to
be wary of submitting their work too early.
When is the right time to submit to an agent? how do
you tell if you have truly finished your novel? and just how long
do you spend on writing the submission letter and synopsis?
WORKSHOP DETAILS: May 5, 10-4pm. Led by
literary agent, Kirsty Mclachlan of DGA Ltd. and London Writers'
Club Director, and author of Write a Bestseller, Jacq Burns.
WHY SIGN UP?
Successfully pitching to an agent or editor on your
book concept takes brevity and power. Whether you're pitching at a
live event, or in the context of a submission letter, there are key
essentials which must be included. What you'll learn:
- 5
essential elements of in every submission letter
- components
of a compelling novel hook - is your concept strong enough? Is
it roadworthy/commercial?
- common
mistakes that appear in typical submission letters
- the
secret to writing a great synopsis
- the
importance of choosing the right title
- how
to write compelling opening chapters
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Writers
who are actively submitting agents and publishers
- Writers
whose submissions always get rejected (or never get a
response)
- Writers
who will be live pitching their concept at a
conference/event
- Writers
