WORKSHOP: WRITING A BOOK PROPOSAL THAT SELLS

Next in a series of "On Demand" workshops. Sunday, FEBRUARY 28, 2010 1-4 pm.on Manhattan's upper West Side. A wildly succesful small group session for people with lots of ideas, fits and starts on the page, visions and revisions, who need help SEEING the book they want to write and learning how to interest a publisher or agent. Scholars with academic work needing translation for a wider audience especially encouraged, along with memoir writers. Don't follow a cookie-cutter format. Write in your own voice, organize brilliantly, position it for the marketplace and, an an extra added attraction, find support and enthusiasm. Inquiries welcome.
