Included with membership. As always, we draw submissions at random, by genre. One of the hardest parts of submitting your work is ensuring that your query and page are ready to go. Together, we will get your queries and pages (as many as we can, drawn at random) ready for submission. Even if yours isn't chosen, you'll learn how agents think--and take away lessons that will help you long into your submissions process.The panel will be followed by a Q&A, where you can ask your burning publishing questions of our panel.This event is open to all genres.Can't make it live?

$0 Members | $49 non-members Exact date and times TBD. Check ManuscriptAcademy.com/calendar for updates. Sometimes "it's X meets Y" is the hardest equation to solve. How do you make sure your comps are recognizable--but not "My book is the next Hunger Games" big? How do you avoid embarrassing yourself, or making it look like you're an amateur? How do you find enough works that fit your book? How do you know they're evoking an image? When can you break the rules--and if you're going to, how can you be sure your comps work? And--perhaps most controversial--should you even use comps at all? With interactive workshopping, classes and even a 2000s magazine-style quiz, you'll leave feeling confident, creative, and maybe even excited about your comp titles.
