LS1 Secrets To Writing a Killer Synopsis
Plus: Query Letter and First Three Chapters
The best story in the world won't sell if the editor can't get past the query letter and the synopsis. Most publishers give very specific guidelines on what they want in a submission, but they don't tell you how to make your submission stand out among the hundreds they receive daily. In this class, you'll learn the secret to do just that. This is a 6-week class in which you'll get direct feedback on your work. It is recommended that you have completed at least half of your manuscript in order to get the most from the class.
In this class we'll cover:
The Rules
Basic Presentation
Query Letter format --how to show individuality, style and a compelling story in one page.
