Before You Send It Out Workshop/One-on-One Manuscript Review Sessions
WHAT:
Before You Send It Out Workshop - Agents and editors don’t have time to read entire manuscripts. So how do they choose which writers they want to work with? Proposals. Regardless of whether you have a book for adults or children, in fiction or nonfiction, you need a strong proposal. But while many writers invest a significant amount of time, energy, and money in crafting their manuscripts, few know how to compose a proper proposal. In this class, you will learn:
1. • Why 90% of submissions are rejected based on the cover letter alone
2. • The single most reliable—and free!—resource for finding a good agent
3. • Three common, yet easily avoidable, mistakes writers make
4. • A proposal’s true purpose (hint: it’s not to demonstrate talent)
One-on-One Manuscript Review Sessions - Marcela Landres will read (but
not edit) a sample of your work, then meet with you for a one-on-one,
30-minute session. SPACE IS LIMITED.
WHEN: 4/28, 10:15 a.m. – 11:15 a.m./ 4/28 by appointment
WHERE: Saint Clements Castle, 1931 Portland-Cobalt Rd., Portland CT, 06480
