One of the big advantages of attending a conference—online or in-person—is the opportunity to submit to Featured Agents and Editors. Many agents and editors are open to submissions from conference attendees, even when they aren't open to general submissions. Simply by making the effort to attend a conference, you demonstrate to agents and editors that you are committed to refining your craft. 

This episode also includes: 

• Tips for making a good first impression.
• What to include in your query letters.
• How to research agents and editors to target your submissions.
• Why you should have 3-4 polished manuscripts ready to go.
• What to put in your bio paragraph if you don't have any published work.
• Why you need comp titles and how to choose them.
• Bonus: A Fun Writing Exercise!
