Perfecting Your Manuscript Workshop
with Editor Heather Lazare of Northern California Writers’ Retreat
March 15th — April 5th: submissions open
April 17th — May 15th: live Workshop
In an intimate setting, we’ll explore what’s working, what needs help, and how to keep things moving in your writing. Writers will come away with feedback from their other workshop members as well as advice from editor Heather Lazare. We’ll spend 20 minutes on each piece and everyone will have an opportunity to voice their thoughts. Our goal is to help your writing have deep meaning and urgency—we want to focus on what propels your plot and how we entice the reader to move forward. *Maximum submission length: 1500 words.
