Emma Walton Hamilton is basically a rock star. She’s a bestseller, an editor, an arts educator and an author of over 20 children’s books. She’s also Julie Andrews’ daughter. It doesn’t get much cooler than that. We’re thrilled to welcome her to WriteOnCon this year and feel honored to have her perspective.

The emphasis is on community.
Very informative! Thank you.
Well done! I can’t wait to redo my query letter! Thank you for your insight!
just fantastic…especially the section on crafting paragraph three! Thanks so much.
Awesome advice! Is there any way we could get a copy of that power point or a word document for future reference? Anyway, great job Emma!
Great session.
I always thought that a writer needed to include a brief bio. Perhaps I’ll re-think this with my queries.
Great presentation. Thank you for the information.
Like Joseph, I wouldn’t mind a copy, or word document. Great Presentation.
Excellent information, Emma! Thank you. As I craft my query letter for my picture book, I’ll have your guidance, as I have from the very beginning of this manuscript. Full circle!
For anyone who would like to experience more of Emma’s guidance and skillful teaching, I’d urge you to check out (and join!) Emma’s Children’s Book Hub. I’ve found it invaluable in my development as a writer.
This is so fantastic, Emma. Thank you!
Emma, thank you for taking time out of your busy day to break down writing query letters into four simple paragraphs. I have always hated writing queries with a purple passion, but with your advice, I can’t wait to get started!!
I love the break down of the letter. Thanks.
Succinct, helpful information, as always, Emma.
I also want to do a shout out for Emma’s book hub at http://www.childrensbookhub.com. Having been an active member since its inception last December, I have experienced this sort of invaluable information week after week on the hub through forums, teleseminars, documents etc. Do check out this wonderful resource and community for children’s book authors.
The detail in this presentation is so helpful. Thank you.
Super presentation, Emma! Thanks for all of your donated time.
Some great tips, very clearly presented. Thanks, Emma.
