HELPING WRITERS REALISE THEIR
CREATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL DREAMS

On Demand – Getting Submission Ready

Join Writers SA's Bronwyn Tilley as we navigate what a successful query letter should look like when you're ready to start submitting to publishers and agents so you can create one of your own!

Writers SA presents an on-demand workshop that you can watch in your own time for a short time. We're also including a downloadable resource list and examples of a query letter and synopsis.

The language of the publishing industry varies from country to country, house to house, and it can be hard to tell what a publisher or agent is actually looking for in terms of a great query letter guarunteed to hook them in and make them ask to see more. In this on-demand course we'll traverse the submissions landscape, break down some of the complicated meanings, and also look at what forms the query from the greeting to the hook to the bio.


 

—Online events are easy to access! You will need an internet connection and (ideally) a device with a camera – computers/laptops or even phones can be used to dial in. You will be sent a link to join a few days before the event. The link will take you to a private digital meeting where you can join the session. You can test the link at any time to ensure you can log in. Please respect the other participants in your event and mute your microphone at all times while the presenter is presenting. Background noise in houses such as TVs, pets and children can affect the sound quality.
