Novel Secrets: A Novel Retreat in 3 Acts |
|
Have you always wanted to write a Young Adult or Middle Grade Novel for Children, but have not carved out the
time to get it done? Do you have a draft of a novel written, but
are looking for ideas and strategies to revise and strengthen it?
Would you like the chance to meet with an editor or an agent to pitch
your novel and gain critical feedback about this novel in particular
and the fiction market, in general? All of this is possible if
you attend Novel Secrets: A Novel Retreat in 3 Acts. Contact me at "NLSharpwriter" at "yahoo" dot "com" to learn how to register!
Act 1: Sunday, April 18, 2010
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Acts 2 & 3: Sunday, April 18 - Tuesday, April 120, 2010
7:00 p.m. Sunday - 1:00 p.m. Tuesday
Acts 2 and 3 of the Novel Secrets Workshop are presented in Retreat format, and are designed to provide the writer with both the time and the tools needed to revise a work-in-progress. In order to attend Acts 2 and 3, the writer must have a middle-grade or YA novel written and they must attend Act 1 on Sunday, April 18th.
What others are saying about prior Novel Secret Retreats:
"I feel that through this retreat series I've learned the tools to take my writing to the next level. I feel like a writer now, not just a writing enthusiast. I have learned what I need to do with my writing to make it the best it can be. It's actually very liberating and exhilarating."
"This series was a huge leap forward for me. I loved every piece of instruction, and have been able to directly apply what I was taught into my own writing processes. Working with a small critique group was fabulous, and the support system we've established will be beneficial for years to come."
