Thank you to all of the participants who trusted us with their pages, and worked so hard during our October 1st 5 Pages Writing Workshop - and congratulations to Mary Rowley, our workshop winner! And a big thanks to our wonderful guest mentors, Kaitlyn Johnson as our agent mentor and Mary Taranta as our author mentor!As always, thank you to our talented and fabulous permanent mentors, who read, comment, and cheer on our participants every month!
The workshop is designed to help writers struggling to find the right opening for their novel or for those looking to perfect the all important first five pages before submitting for publication. Why the first five pages? Because if these pages aren't compelling, no agent, editor, or reader will continue reading to find out how great the rest of your story really is! Our November workshop will open for submissions on Saturday, November 3 at noon, EST. So get those pages ready - we usually fill up in under a minute!
Happy Writing (and revising!)
Erin
