Pitches, Query Letters, and Synopses

In this session, you will learn:

• What a pitch, query letter, and synopsis should look like: what to include and what to not include

• The importance of length and why less is always more

• What makes an idea and what makes a story

• The art of the follow up (and why you should always follow up)

• The other side. What an editor is looking for and the best time to pitch
