Querying For Memoir
You’ve written your memoir—now comes one of the most intimidating parts of the publishing journey: the query letter. What makes an agent stop reading? What makes them ask for more? And how is querying memoir different from querying fiction?
Join bestselling author Lyn Liao Butler for an inside look at what agents are really looking for and how to craft a query that showcases the heart of your story. You’ll learn the essential elements of a compelling query, common mistakes that can derail your submission, and practical strategies to help your memoir stand out in a crowded inbox. Whether you’re preparing to query now or planning for the future, you’ll leave with the confidence and tools to hit “send.”
