If you want to be published, submit a polished product.
You know you’ve got a great story idea, but how do you make it so great that it rises from slush pile to publication?
Author and Writing Coach Annalisa Parent has helped hundreds of writers to improve their craft and to become published authors. She knows the inside tricks to get your writing publication-ready.
In her talk From Mire to Page-Turning Momentum: Three Plotting Mistakes that Keep Writers in the Slush Pile, Annalisa will walk you through a straightforward system for plotting your fiction to ensure you write a book that makes readers say “I couldn’t put it down.”
She will cover important topics such as:
- How and when should you use backstory?
- Where is the best point in the narrative to start?
- What is the most effective build to the climax?
You’ll walk away with a bucket load of information and resources to keep and put into action, so you can cross “Become an Author” off your bucket list.
Not only that, for the participants of the Writer’s Digest Annual Convention,
Annalisa will read the most crucial part of your manuscript and give you immediately implementable actions for the project you’re working on now.
Sessions are limited, so sign up today
