Advanced Class > Writing the Perfect E-Query Letter

Some of you are emailing agents and producers without giving it a second thought. Yet when you send off a written query letter, you’re using screenwriting text books for how to information on query letters. Your email query must be given the same amount of thought and respect. When you query an agent or producer through email there are some things you should know. There are strategies that you can use to increase your odds of success.

There will be assignments and activities during this week long class along with a LIVE call-in session with the instructor. Each student will leave with a highly developed and perfected pitch for one screenplay. Note: Instructor will give feedback to every student on said pitch.

"I've always been mystified as to why (or how) anyone in their right mind would want to fall into the hole that has become the Internet in order to sell something as personal as a screenplay. But there is actually a logical step-by-step process one could follow in order to separate the wheat from the chaff. If you've been looking for another way in, Christopher Wehner has just opened the door."
— Scott Frank, Screenwriter GET SHORTY, OUT OF SIGHT.
