January 1st 5 Pages Workshop Final Revisions Are Posted

Please scroll down to see the final revisions in this month's workshop mentored by the lovely Kimberly Sabatini. We invite you to read and comment. It's always a great learning experience for me to see what the writers have done based on the input from our mentors and everyone else who pitched in.

The next workshop will be mentored by young adult author Nikki Loftin. Stop by her website to find out more about her, or stop by next week when we post her bio in the sidebar. We'll start taking entries for that workshop on Saturday, February 2 beginning at noon.

And once again, a heartfelt thank you to Kim Sabatini and to the workshop participants. You've all be wonderful to work with!

Best,

Martina and Lisa

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The first five pages of a manuscript may be all that agents, editors, and readers read, so the First Five Pages Workshop for young adult and middle grade fiction is here to help young adult and middle grade writers off to an unputdownable start with the help of three published authors and a literary agent over the course of three weeks.

We have a fabulous list of permanent workshop mentors including award-winners and NYT bestselling authors, two of whom are assigned to every manuscript in the workshop. In addition, we have a guest author each month who mentors all the workshop participants. During the third week, our guest literary agent also critiques not only the pages but also the pitch for the book and picks an overall workshop winner. The agent also chooses the strongest manuscript (or manuscripts) and awards a partial critique to an overall winner with potential priority submission opportunities for other selected participants, so not only is this a great learning opportunity, it's a great chance to get your novel published.
