Are you a writer of short stories and looking to get published? Ready to write your book but no idea where to start? Already written a book, but struggling to get it done? Looking for a chance to win a FREE publishing contract? This is your series! (Contract is a $6,000 value) Our next event will be held next Tuesday, MAY 29th, and you don’t want to miss it!
Dedicate one night a month Feb-July and come get your book done. Join Tara Richter, Richter Publishing, Jamie Klingman and Laurie Stemm, The Kaizen Collaborative, for six nights of focusing on getting published. Bring your computer, grab a drink, and settle in for focused writing time, plus access to an experienced publisher for help and advice. At the end of the series, submit your manuscript for a chance to win a free publishing contract through Richter Publishing’s annual contest! (Entries due August 1, 2018. Author or a representative must physically be present in October 13th 2018 at our annual author awards ceremony to accept the contract if they win.)
Each session will have a focus. The first 30 minutes Tara will cover a certain topic to help you with your manuscript. Afterwards we will break into certain groups where you can write silently or collaborate with other aspiring authors. Tara will also be available for private coaching during the night.
