Fake Query Letters by Dead Authors by David Griffin Brown and Michelle Barker
New Publication
Ditch the heartache, headaches, and frustration of querying.
We step into an agent's shoes to review five fake query letters and synopses of classic novels, along with their (not fake) opening pages, and then discuss strategies for finding an agent and/or publisher.
Join us in the Fake Deads universe for some hilariously awful submissions and find joy in the process of querying.
Under the microscope:
- Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen
- Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë
- The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne
- Anne of Green Gables, by Lucy Maud Montgomery
- Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë
