January First Five Pages 1st Revisions Are Posted

The first revisions in the January First Five Pages Workshop are up! Scroll down and see what the writers have done after feedback from our guest mentor, Kimberly Sabatini, and let them know what you think! This is an especially great learning opportunity, because Kim will be joining us again to comment on the revisions and help everyone get to the next step.

Have a great week, everyone!

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.
