In the throes of writing a cozy mystery? Ready for edits? Or maybe you just need some polishing before querying.

I can help. As an Agatha nominee for Best First Book and bestselling author of the Enchanted Bay Mystery series, I can help you take your cozy mystery to the next level.

This advanced group is designed for previous students of my How To Write A Cozy Mystery Class who are ready for the next step. Even if you haven’t taken my class but are very close to being ready for querying this could be a good group for you.

Our classes are small, fun and super-supportive.

This is an online 4-week class in which you’ll leave with the first 150 pages of your manuscript fully edited (or the partial you have ready). An expertly crafted query letter and a list of agents you should pitch plus inside knowledge of the cozy mystery publishing scene: tips and tricks and trends to be aware of.

In this class you’ll receive:

• An in-depth critique of the first 150 pages (150) current cozy mystery work-in-progress plus one to two rounds of revisions
• Assistance in writing your query letter, one revision  + the best comps for your work
• A customized literary agent pitch list

We will also read one cozy mystery and discuss elements of the book.

Please note: This is an advanced class. You may register if you have already participated in my How To Write A Cozy Mystery Class. Otherwise, you will need to send me a 15-page sample of your work to review for assessment of your readiness for this class. Let me know if you’d like to send in a sample for review via my contact form and I’ll provide an email for your partial.
