Get Published - A Querying Bootcamp
Taught in-person on campus (fingers crossed)
April 10 & April 17, 2021

Querying is the art of asking an agent or publishing house to take a look at your work. Get the inside scoop from a three-time traditionally published author in this two day querying bootcamp. Whether short story, novel, or memoir, establish a frame of reference for your work, and get the chance to write and workshop several query letters during class. Come with your questions about the publishing industry and leave with your feet pointed in the right direction on the path to publication.

“Meg created an environment that fostered creativity. She had a great deal of information to provide on the subject, including written material we could take with us. Her comments on our work was also very insightful and helpful. I will take her class again as soon as I can. Thank you!”
​
"Ella, I wanted to thank you again for the great experience I had in your class. The content was valuable and your weekly critiques were spot-on. You did a magnificent job building class camaraderie and fostering a positive environment."  
“Meg brings a depth of experience and knowledge to this topic and put a lot of effort into making this class a good experience for participants of all levels. She's a natural teacher who knows how to simultaneously encourage and challenge.”
​"I enjoyed Ella's class immensely and it was good for me because it made me realize I still have some work to do before I start looking for an agent. It’s good, though, I want to make sure I have the best manuscript ready in case someone is interested."
