Sylvia received RAVE reviews at the Shuswap Lake Writers Festival in
May 2010. Feed back identified her as a presenter the attendees wanted more time with. We listened. Here she is!
Sylvia will work with you in TWO in depth workshops. Here is your chance to have personal help with your manuscripts and query letters, whether you are a beginner or not. The work shop descriptions are:
Honing Your Craft: The Real Genius Is In the Rewrite
- 9:00am - Noon
Editing is like pruning ~ too much and your wonderful inspiration withers on the branch; too little and it’s a tangle of thoughts; just right, and it bears a basket of publications. Come with a draft piece and learn what to snip away, what to nurture, and how to harvest.
Building Better Query Letters: A Blueprint for Success
- 1:00pm – 4:00pm
A great query letter is your key to unlocking the publishing world. Learn how to grab and keep an editor, publisher, or agent’s attention by giving your query S.A.L.E.S. appeal!
Come with a query draft or specific project in mind to help turn theory into reality.
COST $95:00 includes 2 workshops, 2 coffee breaks and lunch. Such a deal!
