September 2020 workshops are about to begin!


RENAISSANCE ACADEMY ONLINE CLASSES
These September classes are the last of the "summer" catalog. (The Fall catalogue is slated for October.) I'll also share news of these and others during the monthly "Writers Happy Hour"/Writers Salon on Fridays via Zoom (details in the latest WIP Tips newsletter) and at LisaWrobleWriting on Facebook.

Writers’ Collaborative ONLINE Workshop (4 weeks)
Wednesdays, September 9, 16, 23, 30 at 1:00–3:00 pm
Course ID: WB0185
Cost: $95

LIMITED TO 10 participants. Audience is one of the most important aspects of writing.  Share the content of yours with like-minded, aspiring authors in a constructive, acceptance-oriented, and vibrant writing group. In this hands-on workshop, participants will share writing for feedback and also engage in discussion of the writing craft and profession at all levels, including the writing process, developing ideas, audience and reader engagement, effective revision techniques, and targeting specific genres and markets. Each week every participant reads an excerpt of work-in-progress for constructive critique and collaborative learning.

Preparing Your Publishing Pitch ONLINE workshop (4 weeks)
Fridays, September 11, 18, 25, October 2 at 1:00-3:00 pm
Course ID: WB0187
Cost: $95

LIMITED TO 10 participants. Is your manuscript revised and polished? Are you ready to submit to editors or agents? In this course you will learn the next steps in the writing process: how to find publishers for your project—whether writing articles or books; how to find and understand submission guidelines; and how to determine what editors/agents want in a query/submission pitch. We will also work on preparing the submission package—from query letters to synopsis and manuscript samples. Finally, we will explore contract basics and what to expect once your writing is accepted. Students will have the opportunity to submit pitch materials for critique and feedback.
