June 1st 5 Pages Workshop is Full

Wow! The workshop had so many entries, we have lots of people whose entries are time stamped at noon who didn't make it. I wish we could take all of you, but we can't. Anyone whose name doesn't appear below, please consider trying again next month, and please consider participating in the critiques this month!

June participants: Lora Palmer, Jennifer Park, Katy White, Elizabeth Staple, Rebecca Santelli

Nancy, Lisa, and I are looking forward to reading your entries and working with you to make them shine. The entries will be live and available for comments here on the workshop site at noon on Monday.

Have a great weekend,

Martina

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.
