Publishing 101: The Covering Letter

Publishing 101: The Covering Letter

We are really looking forward to welcoming you to ‘Publishing 101: The Covering Letter’.

The covering letter is the first thing an agent will see from you. It contains the pitch that will get them excited about reading your opening chapters, the comparison titles that'll show them where your book fits in the market and the place to tell an agent why you're choosing to approach them. We will explore how to get your covering letter right, to show you've done your research into who you're approaching and to give them all the information that they need. We'll share examples of successful and unsuccessful covering letters help you diagnose the problems in your own letter and make sure your approach stands out for all the right reasons.
