Before you send your manuscript to literary agents, make sure your submission is actually ready.
If you are pursuing traditional publishing, your manuscript, query, opening pages, hook, and positioning all need to work together. An agent is not reading your intentions. They are reading what is on the page.
This month, I am offering a live workshop for serious writers who want to understand what needs to be ready before they query agents or submit to publishers.
The Submission Mindset: Confidence, Clarity, and Positioning for Serious Writers
Saturday, June 13, 2026
7–9 pm Eastern / 5–7 pm Mountain
Live online
$299 CAD
8 spots only
This workshop is for writers who want traditional publishing contracts and want to stop guessing about whether their book is ready to send out.
You do not need a finished manuscript, but you do need a real book idea you are serious about.
We will look at what your book is really about, who it is for, where it fits, what the hook is, what the opening pages need to do, and where an agent, editor, or publisher may lose interest.

Private Get Clear Before You Query sessions are also available for writers who want focused feedback on their specific manuscript, query, opening pages, hook, or positioning.
