Writing the Query Letter and the Synopsis
Whether you're writing a novel or a screenplay, unless you're self-publishing or making your own movie, you have to pitch your project to agents, producers or publishers. This requires a concise, engaging query letter and often a synopsis of several pages. Many writers get stuck at this stage, finding it impossible to boil down their masterpiece to just a few paragraphs or pages. This class will show you how.
