Greetings, fam!

I’m doing something different for this month’s Behind the Pitch column… a video! Previous issues of Behind the Pitch have been written and annotated. This issue includes an 8ish-minute video of me breaking down my winning query letter for my first book, Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What a query letter is and why you need to write one to get a non-fiction book deal.

  • How to display your bylines and write a bio that shows agents why you’re *the* person to write this book.

  • The key elements of a concise query letter that ultimately lands your non-fiction book deal

  • 🎁 Feel free to copy + paste my query letter into a document to use as a template for your own query letter
