You've finished—or nearly finished—your novel. Now what? For fiction writers, navigating the path to publication can be overwhelming, but with the right tools and guidance, you can set yourself up for success. This 3-hour workshop focuses exclusively on the needs of fiction writers looking to find an agent and take the next steps toward traditional publishing. You will leave this workshop with:

• A polished query letter, ready to catch an agent's eye

• A compelling elevator pitch for your novel, along with practice delivering it

• A personalized spreadsheet to track your agent submissions and responses

• Guidance for identifying the right agents for your genre and goals

• Tips for building an audience before and after publication

• Time for a Q&A to address your specific questions

Whether you're writing literary fiction or genre fiction, this workshop will demystify the process of bringing your story to readers.
