Because the first five pages of a manuscript may be all that agents, editors, and readers read, the First Five Pages Workshop is designed to help young adult and middle grade writers get their pages off to a great start with the help of three published authors over the course of three weeks. And for any writer, seeing how the manuscripts evolve over three weeks with the help of our mentoring authors and literary agent can help you make HUGE leaps forward with your own manuscript.
The July 2017 Workshop is now concluded, but that doesn't mean the learning is over! Follow the links below and read the comments and transformations on each manuscript to see what worked, what didn't work, and why. And check out the current workshop here. It's a fabulous chance to bring your own manuscript up to a professional level quickly.
Heather Cashman, Brenda Drake, Sarah Grimm, Heather Petty, Stephanie Scott, Ron Smith, Wendy Spinale, and Rob Vlok.
Congratulations to all participants and mentors on a job well done!
