Are you one of the many who has struggled writing a winning pitch or cover letter?

Perhaps you'd just like to better understand the brief art of writing pitches to participate in Twitter pitch parties where many writers have found their agents or editors?

Or maybe you are just curious what the fuss is all about in writing cover letters and pitches anyway?

Well, look no further. In this mini-course, you'll learn the elusive art of writing these short form masterpieces to increase your chances of winning Twitter pitch contests and/or snagging your dream agent or editor in other ways.  This mini-course is also available as part of our Brilliant Writers Bundle but will be available in the future as a stand-alone offering. So if you'd like to grab it now, just head on over to the Brilliant Writers Bundle and catch the whole kit and caboodle!
The very first, and one of the most important, steps in writing a cover letter is to target who you want to send it to. The more you know about the agent or editor, the more you'll know if they are a good match for you and the more appreciative they'll be of your research. 

If your pitch and/or cover letter isn't compelling, intriguing, well-written and properly punctuated, your manuscript might never be seen.  I'm going to share some of my own pitches and a cover letter, before ending with some templates and worksheets to help you with your own. 

This course offers you the tools to accomplish all this and more.
