The System was designed with the specifics of North American and British markets in mind. That said, while foreign markets may work differently, all writers need strong query letters with enticing hooks, compelling synopses and effective bio information. Any time you need to have a query or cover letter, The System will help you develop a strong message for any market. Whenever and wherever you need to sell yourself or your manuscript, this System will help.
The Complete Picture Book Submissions System is entirely self-paced. You will go through the material as you need it and on your own time. You can start now or you can start six months from now. You will have access to The System for as long as you like. There are no live lessons and no expiration date.
