  The Capitol Crimes Board invites you to join us for a casual online year-end cocktail hour!

  We’ll be showing Dänna Wilberg’s year-in-review video. Penny and Sarah will talk about what we’ve done in ’21 and what’s new in ’22. And those of us with book releases in The New Year will have a chance to give the membership a sneak peek.

  After registration, you’ll receive a personal email inviting you to share your favorite holiday cocktail recipe and alert our host if you want screen time to talk about your 2022.

  It’s a mellow conclusion to a challenging year and we look forward to gathering to give 2021 the send-off it deserves!

  Querying from A to Q with Jennifer K. Morita
  

  So you’ve finally finished writing your twisty thriller or that culinary cozy that’s been stewing in your head. Great! But now what? If you want to go the traditional route, you’ll probably need a literary agent to sell your manuscript and negotiate a publishing deal.

  Learn fundamentals of the querying process, including how to write a query letter, live pitches and Twitter pitch events. (Yes, it’s a thing.) You’ll hear some Do’s and Don’ts from someone who made a lot of mistakes along the way and still managed to sign with an agent.

  
  

  Jennifer K. Morita started her writing career as a journalist, working her way up from a small weekly in Paradise, California to the Sacramento Bee. For the last several years, she has been juggling freelance writing with being a stay-at-home mom/Girl Scout cookie pusher. 

  She recently signed with literary agent Lori Galvin of Aevitas Creative and is currently revising her manuscript. When she isn't writing, Jennifer enjoys reading, watching British mysteries, cooking and baking. She enjoys Zumba and leisurely hikes. 

  Jennifer lives in Sacramento, California with her husband and two daughters.
