An ONLINE Business of Writing Presentation
ALL LEVELS
This presentation will discuss the nitty-gritty, "industry standard" query from the perspective of an Assistant Agent at The Shipman Agency, Mary Alice Stewart. We will discuss the most effective ways to communicate your creative projects, how to frame a query in writing, and how to grab the attention of an agent in hopes of making it out of the slush pile and into the world.
