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.
