You’ve told yourself your story. You’ve taken the manuscript from your brain and transferred it all to the page. You’ve written “THE END” with great flourish. You’ve thrown yourself a party. But what do you do after all that?
In this interactive session, professional book editor and creative-writing coach Tanya Gold will share strategies to help you figure out how to make your manuscript even stronger. The Master Class will cover:
- Identifying and articulating your book’s thematic message, goals, and readership
- Using these concepts to further craft and shape your story
- Trying out systems that can help you keep track of and analyze key story elements
- Creating a revision plan to help you maintain focus during your revisions
There will be in-session exercises and worksheets for you to work through later. Just bring your manuscript outline, whatever you like to take notes on, and your favorite writing snacks.
