Rosecliff Small Group
A 6-week cohort where two literary agents help you finish a submission package you can trust.
Most writers spend months—sometimes years—revising their query, refining their first pages, or wrestling with their synopsis, only to end up stuck in the same loop: is this actually ready for an agent’s inbox? Rosecliff Small Group exists to answer that question with precision, clarity, and real industry expertise.
This is a 6-week, high-touch writing intensive where you work directly with two literary agents inside a cohort of just six writers. The structure is intentional: small enough for individualized attention, rigorous enough for meaningful progress, and focused enough to produce materials you can submit with confidence. Every week combines agent-led instruction, targeted feedback, revision support, and clear deliverables designed to move your work from “promising” to “pitch-ready.”
What makes Small Group different is not the curriculum—it’s the access. You’re not guessing what an agent might say. You’re hearing it, in real time, from professionals who evaluate query packages daily and know exactly what earns a request and what doesn’t. You get direct insight into how agents think, what they look for, and how they assess a project’s potential in the first ten seconds.
Writers join Small Group with the same questions: Is my pitch clear? Do my pages work? Is my voice coming through? Are my stakes landing? By the end of six weeks, those questions are answered with specificity, and your materials reflect that clarity. Whether you choose the Core tier—focused on one deliverable—or the Premium tier—where you build an entire submission package—you leave with work that has been shaped, tested, and polished alongside actual agents.
If you plan to query in 2026, this is the most efficient, high-impact way to prepare. Small Group is built to end guesswork and replace it with a level of professional insight most writers don’t encounter until far later in the process. With only six writers per cohort, seats are extremely limited. Join the waitlist to be the first notified when January applications open.
