About the Webinar Critique

All registrants are invited to submit a pitch paragraph (200 words or fewer) in advance of the event. All submitted queries are guaranteed a critique by the agent instructor, Scott Eagan.

Description

Too often, writers receive countless rejections for their writing projects—not so much because the writing is bad, but simply because they are sending their projects to the wrong people. Writers need to learn how to target their searches for the right agent and the right publisher. Precise targeting allows writers to save time and heartache, and gives them the best chances of success.

This session teaches writers how to dissect both their own writing and that of published authors to understand their individual writing voice and that of the publishers. The session will also include a chance to provide criticism of pitch paragraphs to identify is the author is really "selling" his or her project.

Length and price: 90 minutes; $89

What you’ll learn to do:

• Understand successful dissection of markets and the taste of editors/agents

• Understand the common mistakes writers make when dissecting a novel and examining their own style

• Know how to examine the 5 key areas of a successful novel dissection

• Understand what your niche is

• Understand how to research editors and agents to find the right location for your writing
