Might be of concern to some of you:
"Irene Goodman will be conducting a live webinar on Thursday, December 16th, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on How an Agent Picks a Client: From Question to Career.
This effect will make you an inside look at just what goes through an agent`s mind through each measure of the compliance process when making this all-important decision. And with this peek inside an agent`s mind, writers will see what makes a query letter stand out, what makes an agent request sample pages or a book proposal, and how agents evaluate single titles vs. a book series.
In gain to instructing, Irene Goodman will be taking questions live during the webinar. No question goes unanswered." Here is the registration link."All registrants are invited to take either a query letter or the 1st page of a manuscript (300 words or fewer for each) immediately afterwards the event. All submissions will receive a critique from the instructor. (All the instructor's funds will be donated to charity-specifically: the Foundation Fighting Blindness and the Deafness Research Foundation.)"
