NEXT MEETING MAY 19
Greetings everyone,
Can you imagine? It’s that time again? We must all be having a real good time. But I’d like to give you a friendly reminder of our meeting coming up on Saturday May 19. As writers who are helping writers, our goal is to help our members get across the finish line and land in the acceptance pile on an editor’s desk. One of the ways we do that is by crafting a knock-out query letter. No matter how hard we’ve worked on our manuscript or article, the query letter becomes our admission ticket into the publishing world.
Back by popular demand is Bo Savino. She will give a workshop on the do’s and don’ts of writing a great query letter. Bo Savino happens to be the CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Koboca Publishing. As you can imagine countless query letters cross her desk. Come learn what it takes to write a winning query letter and avoid pitfalls of novices.
Any time you have the opportunity to get up close and personal with an editor it’s worth your while to do it. A contact is a contact. And when you can mention that in a letter, you’re that much further ahead in the game. It shows you’re serious about writing. So come on out and meet Bo and your fabulous fellow writers.
