Patti Fischer 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 ***Permission to Forward Granted and Encouraged*** CAN THIS MANUSCRIPT BE SAVED INSTRUCTOR: Susan Meier WHEN: September 6 to September 19 WORKSHOP: Can This Manuscript Be Saved? Rejected? Can't get an agent? Can't sell, even though your critique partners LOVE your work? Susan Meier reviews the seven most common rejection catch phrases and explains why you and even your critique partners can't spot them, then shows how determining whether your book's trouble is a story, scene or word problem is the first step on the road to recovery. Following the assignments at the end of each lesson, attendees will learn how to "skim-read" their manuscripts quickly, marking specific problems with post-its. Susan also demonstrates how to use a storyboard, a list of twenty and a one-paragraph blurb to create a plan of attack for fixing your book's trouble. Susan can't revise or rewrite your manuscript for you, but with her tricks you'll not only see how to revise the book of your heart; you'll also see how published authors are able to write four, five and even six books a year without breaking a sweat!
