BLUE LIONESS
Chronicles of Kassouk Book Four

"Wow! Talk about a real page turner! I absolutely Adored Blue Lioness. Ms. Schartz is an incredible storyteller with a very big imagination... kept me turning the pages late into the night, because I was desperate to see if Ariela and Starro were going to get their happy ending... stellar world building, and a beautiful love story, oh, and sentient big cats... you do not want to miss this one. I for one am going to go out and buy the rest of the books in this series, and I encourage you to do so as well, Ms. Schartz is not to be missed!"

Crafting the Query Letter

So much hangs on the query letter, yet most writers have difficulty crafting a concise, effective query, that will hook the agent or editor, and compel them to request your manuscript. Bring your draft or your query with you, pen and paper or laptop, and we will rewrite it together and polish it to a shine during the second part of this interactive workshop.

FREE - Non members welcome - No registration necessary
