Novel Writer
Looking for a writer’s workshop that will be focused on the novel you are working on or want to start? I have worked with over a thousand writers and taught at numerous workshops and retreats to include seven years at the prestigious Maui Writers Retreat. The retreat is limited in particpants to insure excellent one on one feedback. You will submit your cover letter, synopsis and first ten pages prior to the workshop. A written review will be ready when you arrive. The four days will be spent with some formal teaching but mostly working on your material with a focus on both story and style. My emphasis is on making your material marketable.
