DATE: 10 MarchTIME: 9am - 5pm
VENUE: Hacklebrook, Jan Smuts Drive, Randburg
This is a fast full-day workshop for writers with a completed manuscript (novels) or partially completed book (non-fiction or memoir)
I want to urge those of you deeper into your writing to attend and finally get that book ready to actually submit.
When you submit your book to a publisher or agent you have some specific requirements you need to meet. These proposals are Darn Hard Work. We will work through how to write one, you will DO IT and get feedback. Then you will rewrite it ready to send.
This is the last part of your process as a writer and the place so many writers get stuck.
