Q81PYB931 : How to Publish: Pitching Your Book

Course Details

At the end of this workshop, students will have learned how to submit fictional works to agents and publishers and will have an in-depth understanding of how to draft cover letters (including an elevator pitch) and synopses with a view to becoming traditionally published. Students do not need to have completed a work of fiction but should have a brief idea for a story and an interest in ultimately having their work published. An understanding of the publishing industry is not a pre-requisite. Please note this course is not eligible for any concessionary rates.£60
