Testimonials

“The tips and feedback I received from Ms. Halpern’s workshop have helped me improve not only my query letter, but my novel as a whole. If you’re serious about getting an agent, you don’t want to miss this.”

—Rachel Waxman

“Lucinda’s prowess? She is able to guide a creative person’s mind–which fires in a million divergent directions–towards a single, poignant, powerful idea…and then helps refine the idea to ensure it resonates with readers. Masterful!“

—Serena Quaglia BFA MA

“From the first session, it’s been so easy to share things that I’ve only shared with those closest to me. I believe it’s the freedom that’s necessary in the transformation of my little story into a big idea. You’ve ignited breakthrough after breakthrough and I have nothing but gratitude. Through your tenacity, honesty, and poise, you are helping all of us newbies thrive.”

—Colleen Ryan-Hensley

Lucinda’s workshops are an invaluable resource for authors facing the daunting task of getting their book to market. I have taken two of them — a 90 minute interactive workshop on book proposals, and one built around a series of recorded Zooms from previous interactive workshops focused on query letters to agents. Both were well-organized, crammed with important information and absolutely worth the fee. Lucinda Halpern is highly experienced, giving and perceptive — in short, she’s the real deal!

—Peter Melnick

[This team is] whip smart, remarkably efficient and responsive, and have tenderly and with great care walked me through every step of the process from perfecting my book proposal to writing a pitch.”
