The Pitch Package Development Workshop

Are you a writer who has written a novel, but don’t know how to get an agent?

Nervous about pitching to agents?

Gay fiction author, Stuart Wakefield hosts, The Pitch Package Workshop, teaching you everything you need to know about agents and pitch packages, so you can get your work out there.

Nothing causes a novelist more dread than the idea of pitching to an agent and hoping to get picked for the biggest prize in publishing: a traditional book deal.

This is the moment when you can no longer pretend that you’re writing because you love it, or because you’re called to it, or because you just want to see what happens. You’re sending your work into the world to find readers, which means you’re sending it into the world to be judged. That’s the bald truth of it – and you know it!

This workshop will help you:

• Write and strengthen your synopsis.

• Write an engaging, attention-grabbing query letter.

• Research agents.

• Review and rank agents.

• Understand Twitter pitch contests.

• Develop a pitch strategy.

• Navigate the pitching process.

• Deal with rejection and decide whether to walk away.

• Decide what to do with a representation offer.

This workshop will help you develop the best pitch package to get your book into readers' hands.
