Revise to Publish Course
Children’s
writers who have reached the top
of their profession know that
their success has come from
writing AND rewriting—strengthening,
polishing, perfecting, until
they have a competitively
publishable manuscript. Most of
these revision skills have been
trial-and-error, with no proven
road map to follow. We have
designed this new program to
provide you just such a road
map.
No matter where you are in your
writing—still
learning the story or article
form, getting ready to take the
plunge of submission, or coping
with the rejection slips that
are the lot of every writer, the
10 innovative workshops in
Revise to Publish will show
you how to recognize and fix
weaknesses, reinforce strengths,
and increase your chances of
getting published. In the
process, it will instill a habit
of constructive self-criticism
that will make you your own best
editor.
AND, as part of the Revise to
Publish course, you’ll
get the bonus of one-on-one
interaction with a publishing
professional. Before you submit
anything to an editor, send it
to us first, and a professional
writing coach will carefully
evaluate its publication
potential in the market you have
chosen. Your coach’s
comments and suggestions will
appear in the margins of the
returned manuscript and on the
personal letter that accompanies
it.
EXTRA BONUS—just
for looking! You will
receive a free copy of
Witness, by Newbery
Medal-winning author Karen
Hesse, a graduate of the
Institute of Children’s
Literature. The book is yours to
keep, whether or not you choose
to continue with Revise to
Publish. |
