Submitting to Agents for Creative Writers

Event details

If you want to get traditionally published, you probably need a literary agent. The problem? Literary agents are commonly busy and inundated with query letters. To attract their interest, you need to compete with an agent’s limited time and your fellow applicants. But how do make your submission package stand out?

 

With over two decades of experience as an editor, and clients such as HarperCollins, Penguin and Curtis Brown Creative, Hannah Boursnell is here to give you her expert advice on every aspect of your submission package. Find out how to write a superb synopsis, a cracking cover letter and an eye-catching extract in this essential masterclass for aspiring authors.
