Original course description for the live class:
While the perfect query letter won’t make up for lackluster writing, a carefully crafted query letter will help you stand out as a professional. Learn from a published writer, who also has worked as a reader for literary agencies and screenwriting contests, the art and science of creating a compelling query letter for poems, fiction, nonfiction, screenplays, and stageplays. Bring any query letters you have used or might like to use, and we can work together to strengthen them!
This class is suitable for all levels.
Stephanie Mojica, a seasoned journalist, editor, and writing instructor with over 27 years of experience, has successfully published in numerous magazines and newspapers and brings extensive expertise in guiding writers through the process of querying and submitting to diverse publications and contests.
