Hi--I’ll be in San Antonio in July presenting a workshop for Gemini Ink. Below is more info; please share with friends and colleagues. Hope to see you there! Warmly, Marcela
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)
Note: The first 20 writers to register and send a manuscript will each
receive a 20-minute private consultation with Editorial Consultant Marcela
Landres, who will offer professional suggestions and advice for each writer.
WHEN: Saturday, July 25; workshop from 9 a.m. to noon, private
appointments from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.
WHERE: Gemini Ink, 513 S. Presa, San Antonio, TX 78205
