Yosemite Romance Writers is proud to present their online workshop for October.
Date: 10/5/09 – 10/30/09
Workshop title: Moving from Writer to Author
Do you have a novel that is almost complete or now ready for revision? Have you been wondering what steps you should take to solicit useful feedback before sending your work out to agents and publishers? This course provides concrete strategies to help you move from writer to author.
Second, we discuss the nuts and bolts of how to find an agent. Using real query letters sent by published writers, we discover what works in a letter and what doesn’t.
Finally, we explore what happens to your novel after you sign with an agent and when your agent sells it to a publishing house, what can you expect, and what are the specific dynamics of working with an editor.
