About this event
Make querying agents easier and more efficient! QueryTracker is a powerful tool for finding literary agents, sending them queries, and tracking their responses. In this course we’ll cover the basics: search tools, the who-represents-whom tool, and data view options.
We’ll look at cool features that are a little harder to find: pasting in agency/agent notes, flagging agents by priority, and setting alerts for when closed agents become open. We’ll also discuss other resources like Publisher’s Marketplace. Coupons for a free year of premium QueryTracker membership will be provided for up to 10 attendees.
