Writing Life Daytime Talk: Targeting and Querying a Literary Agent with Ralph White
The founder of the Columbia Fiction Foundry discusses the components of the query letter (for fiction) and the proposal letter (for nonfiction), centering on why that agent was selected and how the author’s project compares with the agent’s recent projects.
