Symposium offers virtual seminars and panels on screenwriting, filmmaking, and publishing, plus at least one no-cost "Town Hall" discussion a month.
Like Pipeline Artists, our approach is to tell creatives what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. And let’s face it: no one learns when advice is sugarcoated. RealTalk™ and honesty helps everyone build a path to their own unique career goals.
Rip off the veneer and join in.
Writers have lots of euphemisms for the miseries of the query process. They talk about “Query Hell” and how they’re trying to “survive the query trenches.” It’s an understandable reaction, since queries are often the first time we face rejection from industry professionals.
But it doesn’t have to suck the joy out of writing.
In Query with Confidence, Isabel Sterling breaks down the query process into digestible pieces. You’ll learn how to write an effective query letter, research agents, and hit “send” so you can get back to doing what you really love: writing another book.
That’s only the beginning, though. The real magic is Isabel’s rejection processing system. You’ll learn WHY query rejections hurt so damn bad and what you can do to make it suck less. (Hint: it doesn’t involve growing thicker skin or burying your emotions.) Mastering these emotional skills is what separates the writers who quit from those who achieve their dreams.
