The dream of every author is for their work to stick in the minds of their readers, but first it has to create an impression in the mind of your prospective agent. Before starting to build his own list, literary agent Steven Salpeter read manuscripts for agents at three major agencies, and has sent revision notes to over one hundred successful authors. Whether you’re writing your debut or your break-out, in this interactive seminar, Steven will work with you to craft a memorable beginning, discussing the essential elements every great bestseller shares. This hands-on course is great for writers who are looking to revise their novels or nonfiction, or are getting ready to do so in the next few months.
