JoyWriters Meeting
************************************************************************************************ Special Saturday Workshop in place of our regular January evening meeting:
1:00--3:00 PM,
Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012
Held in the Conference Room at Lincoln Financial (formerly FFS and Sonfire Media) at
411 N. Main Street
Galax, VA 24333
Speaker: The Book Mama and Her Alter Ego, Miz M.O.E.
Topic: Mama and M.O.E.'s Guide to Getting Your Book Published (Five Avoidable) Red Flags that Can Stop You at the Door
Join us for Book Mama's humorous but informative look at areas that can sabotage your efforts to get a publisher. Special focus will be on craft and things a publisher looks for on the first few pages of your proposal. Did you know that publishers regularly reject submissions within the first five pages (and often on the first page)? Come learn the things that will keep the publisher reading your manuscript!
This workshop is free for members. Visitors are welcome, but a five dollar donation is suggested. Membership forms will also be available for anyone wishing to join JoyWriters.
Preregistration is required to assure we have enough handouts. E-mail info@joywriters.org if you would like to attend.
