Let's Write: Novel Submission Pack

This is part 4 of our Let’s Write series with tutor Chris Wright, created to help you take your writing from the early draft stages to finished manuscript, ready for submission.

Finished your novel and ready to put it in front of agents? This course breaks down everything you need to prepare a professional-level submission.

Over 6 weeks, you’ll learn how to write a compelling cover letter, craft a clear and market-ready synopsis, polish your opening chapters, and tailor your submission to specific agents and agencies.

We’ll look at real-world examples, discuss what agents actually look for, and work through the common pitfalls that sink submissions.

You’ll finish with a complete, confident submission pack — and the strategies to pitch your work with clarity and impact.
