So You Have A Great Story: Journey from Page to Publishing
Thursday, March 26th at 6:00 p.m.
Whether you already have a story to tell or are thinking about writing one, author Annalisa Russo will describe her journey from the first word on the page to working with a publisher and what she learned in between. This class is designed as an overview of the writing process, the mechanics, of writing, including organizing your writing, and planning you writing schedule. Participants will learn how to get their creative ideas down on paper, keep on track, and get to the publishing table. Annalisa will also explain how to find an agent/publisher and what to expect after the signed contract. A Q & A session will conclude the presentation.
Please sign up here.
