Before you press SEND: Creating a Query Checklist
Saturday, August 18 @ 10:15 am
Don’t press send just yet! A query is so much more than a three paragraph email. Creating a clean and powerful narrative, an impressive website and blog, meaningful social media networking, attending writing and industry conferences as well as creating a mini proposal (even for fiction) are just some of the crucial steps you need to take to help you and your manuscript grab the attention of agents and the publishing world. Sponsored by the Ancient City Chapter of the Florida Writer’s Association and the Friends of the Main Library. Program FREE & open to the public.
