When your submission
materials – a query letter, synopsis, manuscript, or book proposal –
arrive in an agent's inbox, they land among hundreds of others. At that
point, one of two things will happen. Either the agent (or the agent’s
assistant) will like the submission and request more materials, or they
will reply with a rejection.
Authors who get
rejected tend to fall in one of two categories when submitting
materials: they try too hard, or not enough. This
Writer’s Digest Boot Camp is designed to help you streamline your
submission materials to stand out in a good way.
Attendees will learn
how to write a dynamite query letter, tackle a one-page synopsis (for
fiction) and a book proposal (for nonfiction). The instructing literary
agents will also explain the importance of author platform in addition
to basic etiquette in dealing with an agent and manuscript basics.
Lastly, all attendees
will have an opportunity to interact one-on-one with an agent and
submit ten pages of materials (in any combination--query, synopsis,
book proposal, first pages of your manuscript) for valuable feedback
provided by successful literary agents.
