You’ve written a novel! Congratulations! Before you self-publish or query that agent, before you unveil your masterpiece of commercial fiction to readers’ eyes, you need to…cough…get it ready for reader eyes, an intimidating process involving query crafting, themes, pacing, timeline integrity, plot hole detection, identifying comp titles…and that’s just the start!
If you see a published book in your future, but feel stymied by the steps ahead, join author Jaima Fixsen’s revision masterclass. In six weeks, you’ll learn techniques, tools, and strategies to hone your storytelling instincts, sharpen your editing eyes, and keep yourself on track. Learn the steps to traditional publication, and what you need to do now to succeed in selling your work.
This class takes place ONLINE using Zoom.
